I have done 180 hours on a KX85 after a complete rebuild without even doing top ends, but 700 hours on a modern 4 stroke are just impossible
aren't you afraid of the bike to grenade under your butt?
Lol
I am not a Vital MX regular, but I am a regular over a ThumperTalk. I have most everything documented there. In 2017 I bought the bike new, raced it to a couple Vet Championships in Canada and put 300hrs in the bike that year (I race offroad). 2018 I put another 250hrs or so on it when I moved to the Pro Class. I raced it only 2x that year with a 2nd place finish, and a win. I gave the bike to my wife with close to 600hrs on it. My wife had put the other 100 or so hours on it race offroad and MX.
The bike is not abused, I do all my own maintenance, replace things immediately when they break or wear, regular filter and oil changes, T4 cut with 94 non ethanol, have ran a fan and bigger battery/stator since day one, run a Rekluse...
No, it's not common for people to put that many hours on a bike, let alone keep one for that long. I have a complete top end sitting in a box that I was going to replace at 100hrs, but the bike still ran perfectly. So I pushed it to 200hrs, bike still ran perfectly. After 300hrs I was like "fuck it, let's see what it can do", and here we are... Do I care much if the motor scatters? No, it doesn't owe me anything, and it's not worth anything either. I can't in good conscience sell it to someone with 700hrs on it either. Even for $3000, it would be cheaper to keep it and rebuild it (ultimately even put a 500 motor in it)...
I really just think it's cool that it's made it this far. And even yesterday though my conditioning was crap, I was thinking I could still race this thing and probably be ok... Lol
2018 KTM350 16hrs
2020 Ktm250sx 5.5hrs
2014 Pw50 2hrs
1988 Cr250 ???
1984 RM500 ???
Honestly 170 hours is pretty damn good from a 125.
Credit goes to aeopowersports, lol
108hrs on my 19 crf250r. Bought it new in 2020, did a piston and timing chain at 88hrs. My wife has 78 on her 19 in the background without issues

Usually on small bores I do pistons every 20 and crank every 80. 250 2 strokes piston every 40 with crank at 120-30 hours. 250 4 strokes 50 for a piston, 100 crank. Suspension fluids every 20-25 hours. Frame bikes once a season.
I don’t understand selling bikes at 40 hours. Guys like Keefer are the only people on earth who can feel a “stretched” frame at 40 hours. At 40 hours I’m usually the most comfortable I’ve been on a bike, and 40 hours is absolutely nothing. I typically do that in a season or less (used to be half of a season or less).
I know top Canadian pro riders who have put over 100 hours on new 4 strokes without opening the motor. New bikes are very good.
I’ve raced it in everything from British championship mx to beach races and enduro’s.
Couldn’t tell what hours are on it now but kind of curious to see how long it goes on.
I only use it a couple of times a year now but still rev the piss out of it.
Combined with my hour meters, I had a about 600hrs also tracked through my training app which included training lap times and racing time.
(Current) 13' Yz250 - 180 hrs and still going...
Looking for a swing arm as I believe the thru holes have started warping allowing for a bit of play in the rear. Fresh bearings helped a bit but didn't take all of the play away.
