Ahhhhh, now I see it!

I bought myself an '86 Suzuki GSX1100E for my 19th birthday. They come with a welded crank as standard (i.e. pressed together and the joints welded to stop it twisting). They're so good that the top bhp drag bikes still use the stock cranks!

I know of one pan with 125000 an no problems . vfr800 are concidered bullet proof as well. (not the vvt version.)

Without doubt the Suzuki GS850. I've seen more than a couple with more than 75000 km with little more than regular maintenance. The crank runs on roller bearings, low pressure oil system, air cooled, shaft drive. Weakest link is the charging system, but can be addressed with aftermarket regulators.

I know, I realised just after I'd posted it and then deleted it. Then, I realised that you'd posted this!
