Think a 1800 engine can last many miles?

I think it might be the opposite. Oil every 5k and filter every 10k. But I could be wrong.

Do we have any bird hunters on this oil filter change thread the oil
will not all run out because the oil filter was remove oil travels threw
the engine because of the oil pump not gravity, most people remove
drain pug first try removing the oil filter first if all your oil runs out
and you show a video of that I will have crow that day if not do you like
your crow with or without feathers.

Have a guy in AZ I ride with occasionally has an 1800 wing with 227K on it with only issues being the alternator. He beats the ever loving crap out of his wing and it keeps on running. I envy those of you that have so much free time to spin up all those miles. I'm lucky to get 6K in a year. At that rate my 6B should be good for ..... ever ?!

Hmmm maybe I figured out why the wife was cool with this one. May stem my bike changing habits? (this one is my 16th different ride).

I'm hoping for a minimum of 350k miles!

This is a very under-stressed motor, turning low RPM's.

Very few MC owners ever ride or keep their bikes that long, so it's really overkill.

I'll take a little more power for a little shorter lifespan, myself.
