I'm not looking to argue but, your rpms at for are lower than 6th gear at any highway cruising speed, plus increased load and suspension movement at 50+ mph will be much more wear, miles are miles doesn't matter how they occur they are some form of wear its just an indication of how much the vehicle was used
You're really going to try and argue that putting three times or more hours on a bike at city speed is better than with the cruise set on the highway? Basically you're saying that city driving causes 1/3 less wear than highway driving does, which just isn't true at all. I think you are confusing hours with miles. Even then I would say highway driving is much easier for the most part.
I've worked on a couple super low mile (under 20k) vehicles that had literally never left the city limits. They were well taken care of and owned by an old married couple yet they had wear like cars with ten times the miles. Brakes had been replaced a few times, shocks once or twice, all steering components were loose or had been replaced, etc.
And as you can see we are vulchers when it comes to buying aftermarket mods
I have been checking the for sale section on here and eBay a few times a day since I got my bike for exhaust
