On my 9181 CB750K I have 87,000 km's and I want to know how long I can realistically ride it. For a weird reason I really want to get it past 99,999 km's and see that odometer turn back to zero.

If it has been taken care of for the first part of it's life, (regular oil changes tune up's valve adjustments and not abused with too many 8500rpm shifts) You will be able to ride it past that point, just take care of it and don't abuse it.

I know of one with over 200,000 miles on it. Never had anything major done to it. The Toolmatic has 22,000 on it. The Toolbagger has 17,000, and the Copper Chopper (95 KZ 1000 P-14) has 99,784 on it.

Yep it was a typo, or brain fart. I know it was not a senior moment because I am too young, for that.

My Avenger II had 21000 when I got it in January 2011, and I think it's got 23500 on it now. I'd love to get another 2-3 years out of it.

LOL If, you look at the toolbar right above the box where, you type a post. You will see a box marked "insert image" just click on it. Then click on browse. It will bring up a list of places on your computer. Just find the picture, and click open, then insert.
