Anecdotally, I got my 2006 GSXR1000 to 130 000km(80 000 miles). I only sold it because I was moving into a bigger city. Having to trawl around in 1st using the clutch most of the time was not appealing.

I ride commuter most days and used to do on weekends. I like the 2nd hand market having so many low mileage bikes.

While I am not about to make disparaging remarks on Harleys reliability, I won't buy one because I like my bikes to perform.

Also, amongst my friends the "Boomer cosplay stores" comment rings true. Nothing inherently wrong with that I guess but not my crowd. I mean, people buy italian supercars to pose down slow streets with too. Your money, do what you want.
