I am close to 30k on my 04 R1. Still running well

 

I've heard of guys on here still running their 02-03 models with 40000+ miles I wouldn't buy one though with anything over 15k but that's just me

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this but isn't there an R1 on here with 100k on the clock?

There are a couple fo them on here over 100k. Too many to list over 40k.

 

i put 66k on my 02, ran like a champ when i sold it

 

pretty sure you can put over 100k easy as long as it's not abused. i had 75-76k on my 04 before i started running w/out an instrument cluster.

 

I already have 2900+miles on my 08:crash

 

<--- 20,000 on my 08.

 

If properly maintained and not abused it will easily last 100+ thousand miles. Read the hand book and follow the maitenance chart.

 

55K on my '02 and she runs better than the day I drove it off the dealership lot.

 

As of today

 

As of today

That was yesterday but I drive 94 miles a day every day not weekends

You 2 have made my day. I've wondered how much I'd get out of my R1. I've got an 07 with the only mods is the race baffles in the stock mufflers. As of today I have 57,500 miles on it and that's with it sitting for 4 years due to living so close to work it was faster to just drive then to gear up and ride. I'm still on my original clutch to. I hope this thing goes another 50k !

 

^^^ wow that is awesome. How many of those did you put on? Or are you the original owner?

 

I'm original owner. Bought March of 2003 with 0.7 miles.

 

wow amazing guys! especially R1SideWayZ 115336MI!!!!! Damn, apperently just like anything else.. Depends on how the miles were put on... Iam sure Judging by the physical look of the bike vs the miles youd be able to make a good assumption! Of course taking her our for a pre purchase test run!

Thanks for all the info guys!

 

I have 3500 on my 07

 

nice...nice guys!!thats what I'm talking bout!! ridin the 2 wheels like you should..right at 15,xxx miles on my R1right now..picked her up at the end of '06 with 0 miles after seeing her getting unloaded from the crate at dealer..

 

37,000 on my 04, and I was out of the country for two years. I have laid her down a few times, once at around 80 mph, but she just keeps asking for more. I have also taken her to the track. Run her hard and no problems. Need to do an oil change but she is good. I love this freaking bike!!!

 

Well it was not an R1 but my FZR had 65k on it when I got my R1. Only did a valve adjust and carb sync on it. Like i said not an R1 but a testament to yamaha durability to say the least..

 

I've had a couple of 80k+ sport bikes. The engines are as reliable as any good car.

Currently have 30K on my Speed Triple and 16K on the 07 R1. No issues at all.

 

got 20,000 miles on my '06 now, bought it with 0 miles on it!

 

Traded in my 2004 R1 with 49,000 miles on it for my 09 R1 and I ran perfect when I traded it in...

 

40K on my 03 R1 plus a dozen trackdays and a few drag strip runs...runs better than new

 

my 09 has 10K miles on it already

 

01 R1 with 60k on the clock here, she uses a little oil but runs like a top.

 

wow.....unreal! I thought 10k on my 2006 was alot! CT weather sucks tho.

 

This is part of the perception problem. Most bikes are secondary vehicles for people. Only being used for short trips typically on weekends.

Winter comes around and the use drops to near zero for most people.

Sometimes people let them sit all winter with bad gas, old carbed engines etc. So when spring comes around they don't fire up and run right without a tune up.

This all leads to the perception that bikes are "high mileage" when they have only 15-20-30k on them.

Ride it, take care of it and it will run as long as any car.

 

49,987mi on my '06. Runs fine.

 

wow!! i have an 02 and barely got passed 15000
:shake

 

31k on mine as of today!

 

It wasn't an R1, but my '95 VFR had 124K on it when I sold it in December.

I did a track day on it last May at Thunderhill, and it ran great.

 

Alright, I still have my 2k VFR with 40k and love the bike - especially for touring. My VFR was my daily ride and I use it on the track also. Wanna get the mods done on the R1 and take it to the track. I have to do some work on mine, but the VFR V4 engine will do 100k +.
