Unlike oil posts, these threads are a gas! If you pull a search you will find riders here in the six figure MILEAGE - just to be clear. These machines - while they have all their other dinky little problems are a gigantic workhorse. Suspension, brakes, weight issues, ergos - all dinky and workable around such a huge powerplant. Was it nearly 300,000 miles?
Occassionally we can coax him off his motorcycle to check in with us. He has since sold his Superhawk but still lurks around here. Jeffers - you out there and care to comment? You always set the bar. How many miles does it have on it now with the new owner? Regards

Would you believe 550 on an '03? A guy bought it, loaned it to his brother (where have I heard this before) who promptly stacked it up. The service manager at our local Honda dealer bought it from the insurance company for a song, then lost interest in the project. I paid him what he into it, and am fixing the damage, which is mostly cosmetic. Can't wait to get it put back together.

however my 929 had 15k before someone made me an offer I could not refuse

Pffft. Girls! Wore out my first Storm (sorry, "SuperHawk" 
) & sold it at 112,000kms when I bought a brand newie. The new one hit 32,000 by it's first birthday, but the odometre's stopped whirring so much since I lost my licence in January. Sigh... 5 days to go! Woohoo!
(Not bad for a chick :P )

the miles are definitely not wasted but their accountability may be questionable. I bought mine at 12480 miles and I'm thinking, "Yeah, I should do the CCT's soon but it's only 12.5. Within weeks we are a 16.8 and I am having nightmares about an engine break. There is a member here that has over a hundred thousand on his Superhawk. This is a powerful beast - one with long lungs and powerful legs. Treat it right and it will live up to every longevity claim that Honda can make about reliability and long life. Enjoy!
