kearnsy123 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 is 25000 miles classed as high mileage on a bike ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Not always. Depends on the bike. 100,000 is often considered the 'getting on a bit' milestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 If it's 10 years old then that equates to 2500 per year if it's 20 years old then that's 1250 & so on, so it depends how old it is and how hard it has worked, courier bikes can have reasonably low milage but have had the nuts reved off of them. My old XJ has 38K on the clock and is 30 years old, if it's looked after should run for another 10 years at least without major problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEV Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Mines 20 years old 50k on the clock, original engine, it's well looked after, should be good for another 50k I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
