What milege on your 'R' for this riding season?
Well, was curious what everyone was at. Right now I'm at 9,200 KM's (5716 Miles), and I only got this bike in May of this year, with a total of 15 Km's on it. Just wonderig how far above average I am with Milege.

The jury is still out until some folks like CycleRob and perhaps ol' Dean weigh in, but methinks Riders here just might be the mileage champ! I think ol' Patrick might've given him a run for the money, though. DJ, you out there?riders wrote:I got my 04 R1150R in May of 2003 and have 62,000 miles on it; I've put over 20,000 miles on it since April. Being retired this year helps put the miles on.
What's interesting about threads like this is that we find out who is a "Rider" (like ProductUser and R4R&R) and who is a "poser". OK, perhaps not "posers" as much as dilletantes who don't ride nearly as much as some. And in all fairness, I understand why some can't ride as much as they'd like. Like me, I have a job and a family and all the obligations to go with all that.
That said, I'm kind of in the middle here: next time I roll a wheel out of the parking lot, I will turn 35,000 miles. I bought my '04 new in March of 2003. Wish I could ride it more!

Nice mileage everyone! I got the Rockster in June and have 7500 miles on it already. I ride it pretty much everywhere. I'll probably hit nearly 20k by the end of this year. I ride as long as the snow isn't flying. It sucks that I will hit the 36k and the warranty will by up way before the 3 years though.
Oh well, there are worse things to worry about. I can't stop riding the thing. I should have bought a BMW long ago.
Keep putting the miles on and be safe out there.

No matter where you go, there you are.

Miles this year
10 months owning a silver 2004 and only have found time for 2800 miles of riding. The next two months are the best here in Ohio. Just have to watch out for wet leaves.
