How much abuse can a bike take?
Just out of curiousity...?I have an 06 600r and i have about 2600 miles on her.I dog on it every now and then and im usually regretting it the next day. I tend to start thinking that I've done some kind of internal damage to the motor.I know I know... I'm being a pussy about it but..I've always been one to baby my machines and feel guilty about ragging on them.Just was wondering how many people out there beat the living piss out of them on a day to day basis?Ow i have a extended warranty to,lol

07 Busa, little less than 6 months, and i've put 14,500 miles on it.
bikes are meant to be ridden buddy. No vehicle was designed to be "babied".
The stress tests they put these machines through ensures that they can handle anything the average rider can give it. And then some.

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”

I beat the ever loving piss out of every bike I have ever owned. Change oil every 2000 miles and have never had any engine problems. I think sportbikes are designed to handle far more abuse than we can give them (especially on U.S. highways).
