Buns of steel video...works!

On the serious side..it all depends..some days I every 80 miles..some days I can go 150 before stopping. I make sure I take my wallet out of my back pocket cause I realized that was causing some pain after awhile as well.

Rockhead · 07-18-2006, 02:30 PM

10K today, yeah!!!!

jmelvin · 07-18-2006, 03:52 PM

I've got somewhere over 19,000. I've owned the bike since July 14, 2005. Been a great first bike!

19K in 12 months? You have to get a life man.

Hillbillyff · 07-20-2006, 09:23 PM

I have enjoyed the hell out of it. It has been used mostly as a daily driver to work. I have only a few things negative:
1. Had a rear wheel seal leak. The dealer actually fixed it with no hassle.
2. Getting some play in the throttle. Will need to adjust sometime.
3. Got some rust on the helmet lock bracket. But then again, the bike is outside most of the time.

jmelvin · 07-21-2006, 08:38 PM

Yup, 19k in 12 months. I would have had more, but I didn't ride to work (90 mile round trip) from December until March or so because the desert can get cold in the a.m. Of course I spent somewhere between 25-30k in the cage during that same period of time too

BlueMax · 07-25-2006, 02:16 PM

2000 miles in 3 months.

Xerses · 07-25-2006, 03:13 PM

3200km since April 15th. No weekend rides, no long trips, only work and back when it's not raining during the week. I wish my renovations were over so I could go for a real ride.

djump · 07-29-2006, 01:35 AM

Just clocked up 9000k's and ready for my first rear tyre change. The front is fine and Ill be changing that later, maybe in another couple thousand K's.

All up I'm very happy with the M, still would like more front brakes, a better seat and 6th gear, but really other than that she's faultless. With the right gear she's not bad for touring either

In short, great looks and generally a top all rounder, love it.

geoffsimpson · 07-29-2006, 01:38 AM

2500 kilometers (canadian eh) since June 5th.

I find that the gears almost seem to be getting a little taller....not looking for "the phantom 6th" as much as I used to

Telmo · 07-29-2006, 10:56 AM

2600 Km since Nov 26 2005.
Lots of rain this winter but fairly good after April.

Gotta remember I live in a small island with a surface of 746,82 km ², measures 90 km of length and 8-15 km of width!

techgesture · 08-01-2006, 10:39 AM

I've put over 300 miles on my bike in less than 2 weeks so far

BikinIT · 08-01-2006, 01:33 PM

6500 since 5/2005

kbsnow · 08-01-2006, 02:11 PM

about 850 since late June.

2kMarauder · 08-03-2006, 12:04 AM

I've got over 12,000 miles on mine and no major problems. It had about 4,200 miles when I bought it almost three years ago...geez I need to ride more. lol

DragonRider · 08-13-2006, 08:20 PM

I now have 7300 miles since May 18th 2006. I really don't know what all of you are going on about the seat,I find it pretty comfortable. By the way I am 53 yrs. 5'10 150 lbs. I really only get the tingles once in a while,not often.
On my days off I leave the house at about 10 am and get back at about 8-9 pm. Most of that time I am on the bike. it is my only transport at the moment. I rode down to Mt Saint Helens yesterday and did about 375 miles in 10 hours Most of it in mountain country so the speeds are about 35-50 mph mostly 25-35 mph. I usually will ride about 50-120 miles after (4:30 pm)work if I have the chance.
Stop crying like a bunch of babies and get out there and ride. Just KIDDING! If it bothers you, that's too bad. I find the M50 a pretty comfortable ride. It is stock only added a trunk to carry my stuff. Also have the PopTop windscreen from Memphis shades. Love it!
Just a side note I thought the bike was shifting a little better as I add the mileage on,but I think I am just getting used to the bike. Hardly ever clunks into gear anymore. Also I switched to regular gas from premium and I am still getting 50-60 miles per gallon.
