FDs are not good for 100k... normally. Greg's got 82k on his and it's showing serious signs of wear. VERY RARELY will they get this many miles. Most are in the 50-70k range when they asplode.
Of course racing your R1 w/o being VERY cautious about the cooling and controlling your boost when you've modified the air flow system can be quite dangerous.
As far as that R1 goes, I'd definitely speak to the owner before buying that thing. It looks fully race prepped but I don't know exactly what was done to keep it cool and keep that boost in check... It could be dying right now.
