20,000 miles is about the half life of a 125 and learner bikes twnd to be abused because guys don't know what they're doing I'd say go check it out roll the thing down the road and see if you hear anything from the brakes or wheel bearings look at the chain adjuster and see how many times it's been adjusted check the adjustment. check the oil level is alright and then if you can get a decent price go for it. depends how mechanically sound you are how much money you have and how much experience you have if it's your first 125 i think the yzfr is a expensive first 125 when you consider most people smash their first bike up

I got it for less than half of the price of a new bike, so i had some money for maintenance without raising the final price of the bike too high.

You clearly have no idea what your talking about.

Here's a tip that has never failed me: The speedometer can lie, but the oil sight glass does not. If it's nice and clear, that engine has always had good, clean oil in it. And that makes engines last way longer. The rest of the bike is harder to judge, need to look at the rubber parts, moving parts, etc to get a feel. But the engine is the most expensive thing to fix, so this helps you avoid buying a lemon.

most people just think bikes can't do miles because so many get wrecked before they get there

I got a 1998 750 srad and am glad to read your comment its got 61000 km on it, it's my first bike and in the year I have had it I put 12000 km on it and never had so much fun glad to hear it'll stay like that for quite some time to come.

Depends on how the miles were accumulated. I bought my CBR600R brand new (with one mile on it) six months ago and have already racked up 12k miles. However it has been meticulously maintained, and achieved the majority of those miles commuting to work. Many bikes if maintained can easily last 100k miles.

I bought a used CBR1100XX Blackbird with high milage on it, and believe me it was very well maintained, it looked out of the showroom, had a clean full maintenance record by Honda dealer, any 1000+ cc engine is bullet proof, usually bought from experienced riders who know their stuff, it's been two years since I bought it and never had an issue with it so far.

Yup CBR 600 RR 07, put 20,000 in the first year bought it at 33,000. now 58,000. no problems just did a full service and rides like new!

Great vid, I had this exact issue when I recently purchased a cb400 revo, the dealership had one with 6k miles and one with 10k both for the same price. I ended up going for the 10k one as you could tell the previous owner loved his bike and maintained it well.

I think it depends on how it's been treated/looked after. My Daytona (2014) has 25,000 miles on it and hasn't skipped a beat, service her in between dealer services and keep her clean. I'll end up selling it for cheap by the time she hits 50,000 and someone will get a deal, but you'll find the other guy selling one that didn't get serviced regularly and abused and someone will get stitched up!

Hell no. For an R1 with that high of mileage you’d have to be crazy. My 01 FZ1 has 105K on her now and yeah she still runs but not like she did 90K miles ago. Oil and filter has always been changed. The rest maintained but stuff wears. Look carefully at the EXUP valve in the exhaust on that 60K R1. Mine still runs decently but it burns oil noticeably and power is down. An 02 R1 in mint shape with 17-24K miles should sell for no more than $3K as they hav3 been doing the past two years and be careful also with the transmissions as second gears are a real problem on the original 1998 versions carrying all the way through 2003 as well also being a potential problem model. At $3K you should expect good chain and sprockets (newer) and good tires as well you can easily drop $600 right there if you replace those yourself, ge5 a shop involved and ching$$$$$

02 GSXR1K were solid bikes if cared for. Mine went over 100K same as my current FZ1. It burned some oil too. Tranny’s could get sloppy with clutchless shifting, my friends got bad. To spend tha5 k8nd of cash on that I’d have to want it and it would have to be mint (RARE Now) and good chain and tires as mentioned. You can use NADA bike or Kelly Blue Book but don’t pay more than low listed retail to a private seller those are dealer prices with showrooms and business costs figured into the listed prices. It’s pretty hard at this point in time 16 years later to find nice clean examples of these bruisers and look carefully for previous crash damage and clutches are often knackered by idiots too. $$$. An R1 with those miles I wouldn’t touch it above $2K. If it had 30K like the GSXR then maybe $3K if mint and I wanted it. Generally, the best deals on bikes lately are later year ones (more recent) in a little higher price range say $5-6K. Just my opinion ask prices on used bikes have gotten ridiculous and sellers routinely lie about condition wasting endless of your precious time.

Great video! I'm impressed and grateful as I just bought my first bike. One bit of advice is to be aware of how often the drivers around you trigger you.

I put about 10-15k miles a year on my bikes. I've gotten used to my CBR600RR it's quite comfortable for long distance rides. Main thing to look for when it's a high mileage bike is look at the rear sprocket and chain. If it's messed up that means the owner didn't take care of it and avoid at all costs.

My VFR is on 103,000 miles. Same starter, same clutch, fourth chain/sprockets. It-doesn't-miss-a-beat. The 90's era Honda's were the golden age - they had just about every capacity wrapped up...

Agreed my 2000 SV 650s had 40000km a year and a half, ago, I have now clocked 73000km, it keeps going and going. Best bike to get started on! My next bike will be the new VFR800!

120,000 on my 2001 1800 goldwing. Did a couple 1100 mile days no problem this year on vacation. Runs like a dream.

My YZF 600R had 36,000 miles when I bought it; and I live in NYC so that's city miles, stop and go, heavy shifting. I honestly find that the engines tend to be absolutely fine as long as the bike isn't literally abused. However i feel that the transmission is where the bike tends to get a little less smooth and show wear/mileage much more.

I just got back from a 1500 mile trip a few hours ago on my 2000 YZF600R! I hit 53,000 miles in the middle of Nevada. Bike ran all day long at 7-8k RPM, used no oil, temps were low, and it returned 47 mpg at 80 mph. It's my daily rider out here in Cali (I've had it for two years and I've put about 26,000 on it). Utterly perfect. Love the Thundercat! Also, I second (hehe) what has been said about second gear. Be sure to REALLY plant the shifter up (I even hold the shifter up if I'm revving it out in 2nd) to avoid a half-shift and then the gears popping out (which damages the dogs), and the tranny will hold up just fine!

My mate's 'busa has got 127k miles on the clock and it's still as fast as when it was new (i.e. ballistic) and there's absolutely no sign of it giving up the ghost any time soon. As long as you keep a bike serviced, especially changing the oil regularly, high mileage isn't necessarily an issue.

Liked the video! I have a Kawasaki '02 ZX6-r with 70K km's on it (43K mls). It runs perfectly and still a great and reliable bike. Starts always good and does not burn oil! I think the prices are pretty high for valve maintainance but it can be cheaper here in Holland.

I've had my '06 busa for years nd its coming up on 50k miles. It's been through a few crashes to where I thought it was done but it's still more fun than day I got it. Might not be worth much to most people but to me she's priceless

My FZR250R is a 1990 and had about 24,000kms on it when I bought it about 3 years ago. I've properly maintained it, oil and filter changes every 5,000km, cleaned the carbs and replaced seals etc and it runs just as well, if not better than when I first got it. It now has 61,000kms on it. At around 56,000km, I had to replace the cam cover gasket and checked the cam chain tension and valve clearances while I was in there. Chain was sitting perfectly on the cam gears and all the valves were in spec apart from one which was just a fraction too tight. Considering the red line is 18,500rpm and I ride it almost every day, it really goes to show that proper maintenance really goes a long way.

I bought my bike new from the dealership. I just want to ride and grow into the bike and learn maintenance as I go. I didn't want to get a bike and spend more time turning wrenches than riding.

I usually relate the miles to the engine size, a properly maintained bike will always go up to 100k

Oh! Thanks for sharing. How about the hundreds of examples of improper or no oil changes? Inept shifting which only worsens damage as mileage increases?

And how can you or anyone else effectively do that? I don’t think yours is sound advice as you seem to be generalizing what can not be generalized. But.... good luck with that as it’s your cash!

With a bike that has high miles it's important to remember the little things that nobody thinks about to maintain. wheel bearings, brake fluid, rotors, chain and sprockets, suspension rebuild, suspension linkage bearings, swing arm bearings, head bearings. The list of little things can go on for days. It's important to never forget these little things when looking into a bike with high miles.

It's a bit of a minefield this subject but I reckon your spot on ! ,I have a 2004 USA SPEC SUZUKI GSX750F ( Katana ) it was imported into the Uk 🇬🇧 new , we call them Grey Imports he's done as of today 57110 miles and is in mint condition, I have been through him Rebuilt suspension , all the bearings , brakes and regular services he's a loverly bike for a 65 yr old rider and lights up at 50000 rpm I love the old lad and have learned more from owning him then all the fancy new bikes I have ever owned that 954 blade of yours is superb a forever machine in my world , enjoyed your vlogs very much best wishes from across the Salty Pond 👍👍👍

I have a 1999 Honda VFR800 with 82,400ish miles on it and I just did three trackdays on it at Streets of Willow. Still runs strong!!!

I'm up to 70,000 Kms on my Hayabusa

I threw 11,000 miles on my bike in two summers. I had over 6,000 on it the first 3 months (I bought it late in the season). I didn't get to ride much this year :( I easily throw on SO MANY MILES! I do not get how so many people have all these bikes and DON'T RIDE THEM! FYI I go long distances on my sport bike.. I actually think sport bikes are amazing for the road in all forms. Sadly though I'm looking at naked because I'm sick of getting stereotyped by police and the public. I don't ride like an asshat but you get treated like it no matter what on a sportbike most of the time. I'll never ride without a helmet cam. Many aspects to many different bikes. I love them all but it's hard for me to love a Harley.

Military members have to wear reflective vests on bases (Navy brat here, plenty of fresh out of basic sailors spending their enlistment bonus on bikes lol). Military doesn't want their investments in soldiers to end up a road pancake. That may be why sport bike riders with vests get bothered less by police.

Maintenance accountability is EVERYTHING! 1979 GS1000E was my first street bike, 17 years old, cut my "road riding teeth" on that ole gal. Had 91,000 when I bought it for $400, points and fresh gas had it running in an afternoon. 12 years later sold the bike for $1000 and the odometer read 74,000 lol... Ran like a top! That was 5 years ago and I still see that bike on the road, next city over, every once in a while...

I bought my R6 new from the dealer in 2012, and now have 67000kms (41600mi) the engine pulls as strongly as the day I bought it. I had to adjust 2 valves this year, kept up on maintenance and plan on doing brakes, clutch and forks this year. I've done a good bit of hard riding as well as a lot of dirt roads. These new bike are reliable. I don't like Ducatis either, at 67000 I would expect one to be on the bench as much as my RZ500.

Chances are it might be. It's not only the power, but the whole bike itself is constructed to appeal to a different demographic. The commands of the clutch, the brakes and ultimately the engine of a supersport leave little to no tolerance to oblivious mistakes begginers make. So my 2 1/2 cents: Stay within 250-650cc margin with a maximum of 2 cylinders and I belive your learning experience will be way more comfortable. have a good one : )

no waay, and if it is true how do you maintain it to last that long?

Totally agree! More miles, less owners is a good-to-buy feature! Continue to maintain and service your bike and it gets you from 50kkm to 500kkm any way further than most people expect. Most (definetely not all) modern bikes and cars (80's onwards) are very reliable and more or less safe to drive. Don't drive them with broken or worn parts which usually cause a chain reaction of other problems or negative effects on other part's lifespans. Warm up the engines before you start to race and service the bike yourself by manufacturer's time and/or mileage recommendations. As long as you don't crash it yourself or let other people crash it, you can drive it as long as you like it or governments allows you to do.

I have a GSX-R750 2007 model that has about 85,000 miles and it doesn't use a drop of oil between oil changes. Has been changed regular every 3,500 miles. The valve clearances were still in spec at valve check interval. A couple were at the extreme limit. So I did them anyway. Checked them about 40,000 miles later and they virtually hadn't changed. I use Chevron (Caltex) Vortex 98 (95 US) and it cleaned the intake valve deposits off to where they look like new. It's the only fuel to use for engine cleaning because it has PEA or Techron.

Saw a ninja 300 with like 70k miles...but it was so cheap. Like 2012 ninja 300 for $1400 cheap.

Zeta Reticuli dont tell someone that shimming valves is free.... That is false advertising.... you need to buy the correct shims, anywhere from $1 to $10.... You need to buy a tool to compress the valve springs. And lastly, you need to buy a new head gasket half the time because the gasket will tear.

maybe they accidentally honked 😂

Just bought a new 2016 Yamaha FZ 09. Put 2k miles on it my first month. Happy riding!

Subscribed because of this vid. My ninja650r has 23000 miles. I've taken that bike on a 12 hour long ride round trip. Stopped every now and then for gas and food, but I love my bike man. I hate how people don't really ride there motorcycles anymore, just to enjoy it.

Rather buy a bike thats ridden than one thats cleaned more than on the road!

Great video man. I tell folks all of the time that bikes have low miles because people don't ride them. I've got a Kawasaki ZX-10R with over 20,000 miles and it runs great. Every time I think about selling it, I balk. I've got a Honda 919 too and those engines are known to get as much as 300,000 miles on them from theold CBR 900RRs.

I have a 1984 v65 Sabre with around 190k on it and it runs amazing. Only had one previous owner who took care of it.

I had an '03 SV650 approaching 130,000 miles on it. Bone stock, except for the K&N air filter, radiator guard, and frame sliders. The thing was still tight after all those years! No weird engine noises or oil leaks. Most modern bikes (anything past 1985 or later) should be good for a 100K easy.

maybe it's the camera perspective, but it looks like you're a long ass way away from them... every other car on the road looks to be two or three times closer in following distance... and just cuz the guy in front of you is parked in the fast lane doesn't mean you need to do the same.

Well the problem is that the car in the front thinks you are behind him and drive the same speed as im, so he thinks he doesnt have to get on the right lane. If you go right he sees the faster car and maybe goes right too. Also I dont know about your country but where i live there is a Right lane law. It means you have to drive right unless your overtaking or if the road is full.

Great video, great topic. My bike is a 23 year old CBR1000F and has done 42,000+ kms.

Bike is fully serviced and maintained and is ready for years of open road running. Nive video thank you

Got a Yamaha XJ900 Diversion from 1997. Got almost 97.000km on it. I ride it on a daily basis and it rides awesome!

I remember when I worked at the airport, I shipped a Honda Goldwing with 1 million miles on the counter Guy went all around the globe with it, came back from a south america to as far up north close to alaska as possible, across canada to Mtl, and shipped it (by plane) to europe

i agree! it's about how it has been driven, not how long it has been driven!

I bought a 2009 KLX250S with 8,200 miles back in March now it's about to hit 14,000 miles and it's an amazing bike. Super well cared for I would like it to make 75,000-100,000 miles at least.

i've put 12k on a grom in about 12months of actual riding in the midwest. i do feel like what qualifies as "high mileage" somewhat depends on location also. here in the midwest our bikes typically sit inside for 5 or 6 months depending on how late into november someone will ride and how early in march/april they get it back out. so the time window for putting on those miles is quite a bit less than someone with a bike in southern california.

Hello there. My cbr 600f4 '00 (not the i so carburators) just turned 90k kilometers 55923 miles. Not a single problem so far. Not a _single_ problem. Just like you said, not the miles, but the maintenance. When I bought her two years ago, it had roughly 44k miles on it so I've had 11k semi pleasant miles on it. Semi because after 3 hours of riding straight, I am a cripple. Litterally. My knees and legs are killing me. Love the bike though an gonna keep riding it untill it brakes down totally.. so looking up for a few good years on this one :) Keep strong, ride safe.
