100,000 mile bikes

Not limited to BMWs. Often done with Hondas. That salesman could have been talking about Suzukis.
They really pushed the bar with the Gixxers, light weight and high horsepower. I think they've gone too far, have lost reliablity in the process. CBR's from the 90's are very reliable. It will be interesting to see if the new CBR-RR's can match them.
Here's an article (in case image hard to read) of a courier in the UK who got 852,000 miles from a VFR750, but it did require two engines.
Disclaimer: there are plenty of low-mileage sportbikes trashed by kids more interested in doing wheelies than learning how to ride.
