02 fz1
I know the r1 powerplant in the fz1 is an engineering masterpiece, I'm just wondering at what point in running it would you say it mechanically wears it out. I don't mean, how long can I run it redline and not worry about it throwing a rod, just considering the average riding. I cruise between 4 and 6k rpm, and occasionally get on it and shift on redline. It runs full synthetic btw. It is now my full time commuter/ sporter/ touring bike, I want to ride it like it can live well over 100k miles.
