How many miles are on your bike?

[ladybeemer]

2003 "silver" 28800 trouble free miles....except the occasional operator error

[Dr. Strangelove]

just under 24k miles on my 04 abs--arterial blood red

everytime I ride her I marvel about how sweet she is

only problem a leaking gasket at the fuel filler--gave me a bit of a gas smell.

2004 two-spark w/ABS - getting ready to turnover 55,000 miles. Original front brake pads (rear was changed once), normal maintenance. The bike had a bad hall effect sensor when it was new, a bum battery, and a brake light switch issue (needed adjustment) a little later in it's life.

Many a farkle added to make it more 'me': system cases, full sized left case, city lids, rear seat rest, sargent seats, i-Pod setup (with power), GPS, shocks, throttlemeister, heated gear, windscreen (comes off in the summer). I think the only thing that would make it complete would be communications so I can talk to my kids while riding. Very versatile bike.

69,500 km on my 04 at the time of trade in last month.

2004 1150RA w/ ABS . Bought in May '07 with 6500 miles. Currently ~19K. 2nd set of tires have almost 10k on 'em. I love to "ride it like I stole it"......not really ,it's very well taken care of, but it is my intent to "grind it to dust" I'd buy another in a NY minute.

[Biff's R]

04 silver - 28,600 miles
03 red - 17,651 miles (R.I.P)

I have had some leaky seals, but no big deal.

2004 Rockster "Tiger Stripe".

About 7900 miles.

On the flip side - it gets used at least 250 days per year - rain, shine or show (OK - not much of that in London).

Bought second-hand January 2006 (read - 0 miles pre-registered by the dealer, spent 1 1/2 years in a shop window).

'02 - purchased used with 3K miles on the clock, now with a mere 35,000 miles! However, with this spring being the first riding season with the empty nest, I expect that mileage to accumulate much quicker!

New Ohlin on the rear at 25K and a burned out bulb in the speedometer is about all I have done other than maintenance. Due to the linked brakes, the rear brake pads go quicker than I would like though!

Boxer, if you got 70,000 out of the original shocks, you would think you have a new bike if you put new shocks on that thing!

04 Silver, 44000 miles.
Was upsidedown once. March issue of Cycle World, back page, Slipstream.
Brought back to life by Valdi's Motozone Torrance, CA...
Great all around bike..

'04, 48000 miles, no problems

[BigC]

9,500 miles. I've put around 1500 on it in a year. I'm 40 so I guess at that rate, the bike will probably outlive me by a good margin

[boxermania]

Mine, a 2002, had 16,000+ at the time of sale this past May. However it is important to note that I also had a Suzuki Bandit which I rode a similar number of miles.

So if I had only the BMW it would have had ~ 32K miles.....

[Mr Episkopos]

21.750 miles in 29 months

[shake1150]

i have an '06 R1150 with 8800 km. never had a problem. I plan on turning over 200,000 km on the odometer one day. no other bikes looks or performs like this one. its built like a tank! it's a keeper.

[TonyT607]

My '02 RR had 26.8K miles on it when I traded her in April 06. The ST has 15K now.

[bmwdave52]

Ditto what Cycle Rob said. I bought my RR in July '01.
30K on the clock.

[cbesey]

'04, 49000, no problems

[bransan]

29,000 trouble free miles on My 04' RR. This is the first bike I bought new and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

[Beemer1150]

'03 1150 - only 17,000 miles so far. Bought in '05 with just 2,600 on the clock! Used for almost daily commute in the UK for two years until semi-retirement to SW France in August '07. Now a fair-weather bike and only doing about 100 miles a weekend - and only if it's sunny! (Don't knock it - I served my bad-weather time!)

Blown clutch slave at 16,000, rear pads at around same mileage, owner-induced overheat (new oil-level window needed) at 17,000 - still running like a dream but could benefit from a throttle-body sync.
