Yup yup.... as the title states, she rolled over 200k earlier tonight without even so much as a hiccup, and still rolling right along and running like a dream!

I started looking through all my old pics and got all sappy, so I decided to do something a little different this time instead of the quick rollover video and a few pics. So I made a video, and started from the beginning and posted some pics from along the way of our travels, and then the video of it rolling over at the end. Music is a little cheesy, I know, but hey I had to add something in there, and plus it just seemed to kinda fit the theme pretty well, lol

YouTube - 2004 CBR 600 F4i turning 200,000 miles + brief history (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs8I8fYNNG0)


And I'll put a few pics up anyways...

Being that it was getting dark, it made for getting pics 'at the scene' nearly impossible. This is about the only one that even somewhat turned out

Keeping with tradition, I had to get the shot at 19 miles, lol. First pics I took of the bike and odo were at 19, so I stopped and took one again at 19 after it turned 100k

As for the bike... it's still running like an absolute dream! Still ridden daily, never gives me a lick of trouble. As long as she keeps running good, I'll keep riding her.... still curious as to just how far she'll go!

Dude that is ALL OUT! Seeing the reflection of your reaction in the speedo when it rolled over is priceless lol. That NC sign at 2:19 the one by VIR? Thanks for remembering SBA and sharing that with us!

Really cool man -- how about a listing of maintenance items/tires or whatever you had to do over 200k? That would be interesting to see!

Have to done any major repairs to the bike? I.E. clutch, transmission, or engine work. Any thing other then regular service?
