Well I picked this bad boy up for a steal so it looks like I have a sport bike now. Too many questions though. I have had lots of bikes over the years but never a "sport bike". How often does the oil need to be changed on this thing. Any other must do maintenance I need to know about? I guess I am going to need to buy some matching branded gear with flames on it as well!

How many km's would you consider high mileage on a bike like this?

Hi Buddy! TBH I'm not hardcore Biker.. I'm learning as my job goes on.. but I know people who ARE the voice of reason and are probably the best of the best of the best.. I'll ask them. What year is your bike? Any mods on it?

I don't have to change the oil in my sportbike as it injects and burns it. On a high revving four stroke, I would change the oil every 2K.

5k would be normal. Maybe more if you run really good oil, less if you were doing track days and revving it all the time.
