Jinxie · 07-18-2010, 04:38 PM

i put 4k on my 81 440ltd in 3 months!

4Raven · 07-18-2010, 09:24 PM

5400 miles so far this year...

justin68106 · 07-18-2010, 10:55 PM

I'm at around 3100-3200 so far on the ZX-6R and probably had close to a thousand on the 250R before I sold it (for this year).

kat569 · 07-18-2010, 11:43 PM

Two months now, 62 miles. LOL

RezZ · 07-22-2011, 11:52 AM

No offense to anyone but 3000 miles a year?? Thats so little

Thats 250 miles a month.

What I dont get is how some of you just quit riding from october to march completely. Wear some damn gear and you wont be cold.

Andreas L · 07-25-2011, 08:56 PM

My bike came off the showroom floor in July '08, I have over 26k miles on it now. I'll ride the bike thru to october / november. Or when first snow falls, I did ride 1k miles in the winter of '08, almost no snow in the salt lake valley then.

railriderstv · 02-12-2012, 05:55 PM

I just got back on bike 3 months ago......
I normaly average 120mi. per day.....
I got a scooter 2nd wk last may....had 630mi. on it...'06 model....
I parked it when got bike.....it has over 8700mi. on it in 5 months..

Andreas L · 02-12-2012, 09:46 PM

Closing in on 34 k.

Chuck A · 02-12-2012, 11:30 PM

maybe 1000 TOPS, but since i bought the zx14 i plan on putting a lot more, the freaking power on this bike is freaking INSANE
Very nice, indeed

Dadinator · 02-18-2012, 03:46 PM

about 8K per year so far. I ride as often as I can though I don't ride to work. Not worth fighting the cages at those times of day if you ask me.

SlowRain · 02-18-2012, 11:59 PM

It's a little different here. We don't have a car and we can ride year-round. Still, I only put on about 7-8,000kms per year, mostly city driving. Public transportation (trains, high speed rail, buses) takes care of longer trips for us.

EntropyFx · 02-19-2012, 11:57 AM

Last year was my first season (pretty hard to ride in the winter in Iowa), put on 2500 miles before I put it away for the winter. Not as much as I hoped as I was gone for a month or two of the riding season, but hopefully will put a lot more on her this summer.

usaf0789 · 02-19-2012, 06:55 PM

Close to 5K per year

zmago · 02-25-2012, 02:12 AM

I put 26,000 km on my 2006 Moto Guzzi, and have put 3600 on the Harley since I got it last October, so about 30,000 over 6 years makes 5000 km, or 3000 miles a year. Dang, guess I'm just a poser after all.

Art Vandelay · 03-13-2012, 12:51 AM

had mine for only 5 months. put 3k on it. half of those miles was pushing it home. she doesnt have a gas gauge

FreepZ · 04-03-2012, 07:47 PM

I bought my bike to commute with. I've been riding it for two weeks and have put 1k miles on it. If I keep that up, I'll be at 26k miles in a year. (It's a good thing I get over 65 mpg on that bike!)

efilnikufesin · 05-10-2012, 12:45 AM

3000 to 5000 miles, I have two bikes, one street and one dual purpose.

tomekeuro85 · 06-27-2012, 04:36 PM

I don't ride much, ususally because it's so uncomfortable in the summer. Since 2009 I've only rode 3500mi. So that's about 1000 a year.

bobth · 06-27-2012, 08:47 PM

around 6k...82 kz550

Klrlindy63 · 07-15-2012, 09:44 PM

I am easily on pace for a 8k year. We had a very mild winter here in Jersey and I used my KLR to commute to work 3-4 days a week. Now that it is summer I have only taken my truck to work 1 day in the past 3 weeks!
I have been avg 53 mpg with my bike.
I try to get a way for a ride at least once a week doing a min of 125 miles each time.

coachninja · 08-11-2012, 05:52 PM

I just got my bike in late June and have put almost a 1000 miles on it already. With gas prices so high, and a gas eating jeep, I would much rather ride my bike. Plus its more fun!

MotorcycleMike · 08-13-2012, 09:35 PM

I just traded my car for another bike so i hope to be riding as much as i have to to get where i need to go! haha
typically about 3000 miles a year though is pretty average from what i understand. (i think i ride more than that)

chefonahonda · 08-13-2012, 11:40 PM

30K the first year.

StickSh1ft · 11-08-2012, 09:14 PM

Put about 2000mi on my Kawi since buying it in April. The Zook's gone 0 feet under its own power as of now.

chefonahonda · 11-08-2012, 09:17 PM

43K in 17 months, ride everyday.

Bearded Biker · 11-25-2012, 09:20 PM

i have a 1985 en 450 454ltd that i put about 10,000 miles a year . with the mornings being cold here in nw ohio i havent got to ride the bike much to work.

Anant · 01-09-2013, 04:43 AM

I ride almost 10,000 miles in a one year with my Hero Honda Splendor NXG on Indians road. I typically ride from the December to Febuary. Hero Honda Splendor has a knee grip mold which add comfort to the rider. I love riding my bike everywhere. Peace, joy, quiet, thought processing task, clear mind, freedom, yea! Enjoy the ride.
