I have a 20 year old Honda Goldwing with over 277,000 miles on it and it still runs strong, uses no oil, etc. I put about 6,500 miles on it in February visiting 6 Southeastern States to escape some of the Oklahoma winter.

As has been mentioned, water cooled engines tend to last longer than air cooled ones as they run cooler.

I know a man in Canada who is the original owner of a 1976 Goldwing that has over 586,000 miles on it.

The key to longevity is like any other machine - maintenence. Oil change every 3,000 miles and regular service will keep them going a long time.
