Can anyone explain the price vs miles equation. On a CBR 600 with about 12k
on the clock a £5k bike seems to depreciate at about £1 for every 2 miles,
this would imply that the thing will be worthless after another 10K.
I guess what I'm really asking is how many miles can I expect to get out of
a CBR600?!?
Thanks in advance. |

I'd guess at at least 50,000, even if you really neglect it.
A lot more if you keep it well maintained.
Most people that own sportsbikes don't tend to do high mileages on them,
and use them purely as weekend toys. This artificially skews the price
of bikes with "high" mileages. |

It depends on how good / lucky a rider you are. How many CBR600s last
22k miles without being trashed in an accident?
Without getting trashed a CBR600 will last far longer, but I would
_assume_ the smaller capacity sports bikes are amongst the leaders in
the write off tables, but I'm probably wrong and CBA to look it up.

As a Honda, it's obviously going to be more reliable than those wretched
BMWs. So, better than 63,000.

Were would you be able to lookup statistics on write offs and other
insurance bike accident related data ?

BMW R80RT, less reliable than a 20 quid 1983 CB250RS.

It shall rise again. And I know which one I'd rather trundle around in the
rain on.

If my badly abused/neglected VFRs are anything to go by then you should
manage at least 120k.

I'd rather be on my Honda, I don't give a fuck if it goes tarmac
surfing. It does wet roads really well when it has Maxxis Barracuda
tyres on both ends. I must get another rear on one of my spare wheels
and keep it for shitty weather.
