Title: 150,000 on a c-10? Really?
Post by: Steve in Sunny Fla on August 27, 2011, 05:00:30 PM
 sure - why not? SteveJ's bike, a 99 c-10, just passed 150k. I rode it about a month ago and it ran / rode as nicely as my bike with 36000 miles . Tight, nimble, strong. It still has 180# compression. Steve does all his own work and maintenance, and is apparently good at it, as the bike's condition attests. I'm sure he'll get the 200K sticker on it within a couple - 3 more years (or less, he never stops) and it'll probably be just as nice as it is now, ready to get it's 250k sticker. Congrats Steve, you've done a great job with your bike! Steve

Congrats on 150K!

I saw Rick Hall's bike is over it too.

Just wow, I'd never have expected such from Kawasaki.

I'm not a Steve but I will give this a +1. Seems like a well taken care of Connie will go and go and go. Kawasaki did it right.

No sir, Honda either!  I've never owned a HONDA thats held up like my current Kawi, I just beat up on Kawi because I've had a few duds I've dumped that were still almost new and warranty man couldn't even keep them going.

But Honda, I throw that out as bait because it seems most in the C14 forum are all over anything "not" Kawi  :)

I hope you keep putting the miles on your awesome C10!
