The Yamaha Engine That Makes 100,000 Miles Look Easy

That bike eventually passed 200,000 miles, with Pelland recording 208,502 miles by April 2025.

The CP2 Makes 100,000 Miles Look Increasingly Ordinary The FJR1300 arguably remains Yamaha's strongest historical proof that a motorcycle engine can shrug off six-figure mileage.

It has a larger pool of owners, a longer production history, and numerous documented motorcycles that have crossed 100,000 miles without major internal engine work.

One 2004 owner reported 107,000 miles with the valves still within specification, another 2003 model reportedly covered 100,000 trouble-free miles, and a separate 2004 FJR reached 167,000 miles before being sold.

There are also examples beyond 150,000 miles.
