How many miles is a lot for a motorcycle?

[dieziege]

We should have a dedicated forum just for the stickies... 'cause I don't like associating with them. They think they're so useful, so cool, but they're not all that... they're just tacky.

Sounds like a great idea...then they'd be even easier to ignore for new people than they already are.

But then we could yell at them for asking questions that have already been asked, and point them to the sticky forum while implying that they must be really stupid for not going there first. That'd be classy, right?

Our trike is an '82 or '83 and had 7,000miles on the clock when we got her. I had a lot of issues when we put her back on the road that were mostly related to how little she had been used.

On the other hand my CG125 had 40,000 miles on her and the only problems I had were related to vandalism.

what are these "stickys"? and where would they be located?

and side note- is a gixxer 600 a good first bike?

You need at least 1000cc's to have any fun.

Cool I just bought a 1000cc moped off a guy I met in the walmart men's room! Only problem is the thing won't start even though the "gas" light is on... did I get ripped off?

Well put your fears to rest, I actually read most of the posts in the sticky threads. The people who read the stickies don't ask the questions that are answered in them and the ones that ask the questions obviously haven't... The ones who read them go unnoticed I suspect... Just so you know I'm 16 and my parents are going to buy me whatever I want but I've decided that an R6 isn't for me after reading the post about 600cc sport bikes. Instead I'm thinking I should get an R1
Ok seriously, I'm not a teenager and I don't think a plastic bike is for me (no offense to the sport riders). I considered searching to see if someone had posted this already but I was going to look at some bikes tonight (just got back) so I wanted some input fast and I kind of doubted it was that common of a question. I think I'm going to open up another post about the bike with a description and some more, not necessarily all mileage related, questions. Thanks for the input guys!

When buying a car, it depends on the type of car you buy and what you buy it for. There are many types of cars, if you cannot compare an old car with a new car like a BMW, an expensive car will of course meet more of your needs. Like you play Uno Online, a very good version of the game that helps you reduce stress and improve your entertainment spirit cannot be compared to a game that makes you just get angry and irritable when playing it.

You know this is a motorcycle group, right?
