I'm just wondering roughly what the lifespans of sport bikes usually are. Like with cars, you get a Toyota or a Honda you expect it to drive for 200,000+ miles, with a GM anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000+ miles, get a Ford and you're lucky if it gets off the lot. So with a bike, what are some rough guesstimates of what I could expect? It looks like I'll be getting a '99-'01, and the average for those years seems to be around 20,000-25,000 miles, is that excessive, not that much? Will a sport bike last up to like 50,000 miles or is that expecting a little too much? Thanks for the input.
Also, one other question. Okay, I'm 6'2", and I used to ride a '97 ZX-6R. Thing was, that bike was pretty small, so my stance on it wasn't really all that comfortable, like after about 45 minutes of riding my arms were pretty much completely numb from holding myself up. Then I tried riding I think a '99 or '00 R1, and the stance was pretty much perfect (huge difference). Anyway, I know with most newer bikes the dimensions are exactly the same between the 600's and the liter bikes, I was wondering when did that start happening (what year?) Cause the thing is I don't really want a liter bike cause that's just more power than I need/want/can use, but the 600's aren't very comfortable. I'm just asking so I have a better idea of what bikes to look at. So yeah, that's all. Thanks for the help, sorry for the super-long post.
