Is this an achievement

[warped one]

Hey.

Just wondering if this an achievement?

My 1987 Honda Cb125tde is on 60k, is this good for a 125.

The reason that I am putting this question forward is. I can remember reading in a previous post that 30-40k is what they were meant for and then to be chucked away.

My bike starts first time and cruises at 60mph all the way to my girlfriends house 15miles and still does an average of 90mpg.

Does look a bit tatty though but it is my work bike, so meh

Cheers

Impressive, but not a record.

Ive seen a CG go around the clock and back to 40k before it got consigned to the scrap yard, and that was on one oil change a year instead of every K as recommended.



Cheers

Damn must keep the old girl running then, and was that with any rebuilds or enginey stuff done?

I'm sure the CB would do 2 or 3 times that. I think when people say 40-60k, this is often referring to sports bikes that rev high and are regularly kept on the boil. Obviously, revving higher increases the speed of wear and tear. Other components will probably be getting to the end of their serviceable life and will be in need of replacing, but it's hardly the end of the world.

I'm sure I read in Ride recently that CBR600's aren't unkown to see 200k. A lot of them probably get a fairly easy life being more all-rounders than all out sports bikes.

Your CB125 won't be doing 15,000rpm everywhere and is going to be a fairly understressed engine, so it'll go for ages more!

Hi

Impressive for one of those engines. They were not renowned for a long life.

Although if you let the oil run out you will rapidly kill it.

All the best

Is it the CB125's with a rubbish cam chain tensioner? Thats more likely to cause you problems than anything else if I am thinking of the right bike :p (it was the early ones for sure, not sure if by 1987 the dodgy part was updated)
