KD57 · 03-21-2008, 07:37 AM

Since I've only rode it once, I'd say about 11 miles on the clock.
Plan on a about 100 miles a week commuting.
It's new, so it runs perfect.

I can only ride my Suzuki about 7-8 months per year (early-April to late-October) since I don't like to ride when there is a chance of ice on the roads.

I'm not sure about the mileage on my bike at the moment, but it must be around 25,000 kms (15,500 miles). I bought it 3 years ago with less than 1000 miles on the clock, so I average about 1000 km / 620 miles per month during the riding season.

She runs great - she fired right up after I put the battery back in last week.

Well last year i got my bike with 1900 miles on it. It has 7250 on it now. So averaged about 23 miles a day on it. Runs great still.

I'll let ya know in a week or two.

jgreth · 03-21-2008, 01:20 PM

I've had my bike since August of last year. I got it new and it has roughly 5400 miles on it. I haven't done much joy riding since it's been colder but it's warming up again. I'm gonna guess I'll put another 3K on her before the year is up.

pinky44 · 03-21-2008, 01:59 PM

Can`t tell you what i do a day might be 10 miles or 20 depends on what i am doing, The bike had 29k on it when i brought it last august it now has 36500 on it now, So on average 937.5 miles a month.
Runs great for a 17 year old bike.

What is milage anyway? If you were talking about mileage I don't know it keeps changing while I'm riding.

wookie · 03-22-2008, 03:50 PM

Niice. But remember, quality is as important as quantity.

frostbitevinnie · 03-22-2008, 04:47 PM

2" more than yesterday. Had to move it just a tad. If has stopped snowing so maybe I can get 6' to 8' tomorrow.

cycloptic1dr · 03-22-2008, 04:57 PM

daily i ride 30-50 miles 3-25-07 to 8-20-07 (once the snow is gone)

bike is running awesome

odo reading now new bike 268 miles
odo reading was old bike 39765

**drgibson** · 03-22-2008, 07:24 PM

50+ a day if I don't go anywhere but to work and back.
"M" continues to run great.
Her milage as of Thursday 22,203, when the dealer appraised her.

omegajim · 03-22-2008, 07:41 PM

mileage for the past couple of months is so close to 0 it could be approximation error.

Overall, the old scoot has 49,300 miles. For a bike that's 28 years old, it is still averaging less than 2 k per year, despite my damndest efforts.

DrBob · 03-23-2008, 11:36 AM

I ride anywhere from 25,000 to 40,000 miles year, so I go through a lot of bikes. But two in my current stable stand out for longevity: my Harley has a little over 200,000 miles on it (motor rebuilt 25,000 miles ago), and it runs like a champ. I painted it yesterday, so it will be back on the road by the end of the week following repairs from a wreck.
My Intruder 800 has 64,000 miles on it. It runs like brand new, and should continue to do so- my last Intruder went 135,000 on the original motor.

ShonR · 03-27-2008, 02:04 PM

I put about 11k miles on last year. considering I can only ride about 9 months a year, thats about 40 miles a day. Still runs like a beast too!

lol, I already need a new set of tires though and it might be a good idea to get a spare headlight.

AZRyder · 03-27-2008, 02:07 PM

I'm just a little over 21k The bike will be 2 years old in May so I'm at about 1000 miles a month.
