When properly maintained, there is hardly any Japanese model motorcycle that won't go at least 100,000 miles. Same for a lot of European bikes since the 70s. Same for Harleys, if properly maintained. And in all cases, a properly maintained bike, ridden regularly, will easily go a lot more than 100,000 miles. I know BMW riders, with 200,000 to 500,000 miles on their bikes, often with no internal engine work.
Some bikes have known issues, like the plastic oil pump gear in the VN1500 (damn purchasing dept sourcing a cheaper gear than the metal one). Once that gear is replaced the 1500 will also go very high miles. All comes down to maintenance and regular use.
