I am looking for my second 600 bike, (wrecked the first, fluke accident):frusty: , and i am looking around for something cheaper. I found a nice 1999 honda CBR 600 F4, but it has 28,000 miles on it.

I know cars and bikes aren't the same but i know honda cars can go 200k miles + and be all good.

So my question is, how long does an engine last before noticable power loss? How many miles is too many to buy a bike at? I don't want some junker. I don't know if that many miles makes a difference on a street bike. (the place says its "mechanicly and structurly perfect")

any input is great
thanks

To many variables. If it was well maintained It could last a long time. If it was abused it could last 5 minutes after you buy it.

depends how you ride it if your careful it should last a while but if you are hot doggin it all the time it wont last long
