I have an '04, bought news in July 2003, and turned over 50,000 miles during the RA rally in Asheville. That's the last highpoint I can remember. I would guess I'm just over 51k right now.

Bought mine with 675 miles on it...almost new...in November of '02. It's an '03 model. I now have 62,958 miles on it.

I put 40 miles on my last R1150R, sold it due to temporary health issue. Do I win for the least miles? Am I atleast the biggest loser?

Gary,
You can be the biggest loser.

My 03 had 17561 miles, before it met it's untimely demise.
My 04 has around 22k now, and may it last forever.

I wonder where whaycock's Roadster is. I think he had 85k on it before he sold it a year or 2 ago.

Bought my '04 in February of that year and currently have on 20k on the clock. Starting next month I'll begin commuting almost 100 miles a day so I expect my mileage will be increasing dramatically and quickly. Can't wait.

In 2000, I bought an XL1200S and logged on a quick 38,000 miles.

Though I had my money down on a FLHT-S, fell in love with the Dyna Glide Sport, I ended up buying a much loved 2001 R1150Ra.... and put a quick 58,000 miles on it.

Then I quit riding for..... a couple months.

I fell into a great deal on a Triumph Sprint RS triple and quickly got into the same kind of trouble I got on the Roadster, I was caught speeding. With three citations on my once clean record, I sold the Sprint after owning it for only 10,000 miles (fantastic fuel injection, GREAT engine!).

A buddy sold me his (slow? yeah, rooooight) '05 Triumph Bonneville, and "got back to the basics of motorcycling" again.... for the next 22,000 miles. Then I bought a wrecked Bonnie, breathed new life into it in the comfort of my living room, and logged only 4,000 miles on it before parting with it.

I bought a Yamaha FZ1 about a year ago, and have so far put 20,000 miles on it.

Dammit, I'm living a motorcycle induced life of poverty, and my tires are bald..... again.

Yea, I kinda figured that my mileage would be sadly inadequate on THIS board... but if I had posted the same numbers on a Harley Davidson board, I'd be a virtual God!

Pat - you certainly pile on the miles! I thought I'm doing well by putting 15 - 18k a year on my three steeds. You rack that up in half the time.

WhoZat · Post by **WhoZat** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 11:26 pm

It's easy,
I got no womens, no drinking or drug habits, and I live where I can ride year 'round. I got no life, no money, no worries, no care in the world.
I ride, therefore I AM...... a poor biker rider.

(anybody got gas money I can have?)

Pat,

No drug habits? I would call adrenaline a very powerful drug.

Stay addicted, life is more fun that way.

Woohoo!

It's a party on two wheels!
(ya think we're addicted?)

I'm just a little behind Boxer and R4R&R. Mine's an early-release '04 spec, bought new in March of '03. Over the weekend I turned over 45k miles. So, a bit over 10 grand per year, but I'm still workin' on getting more miles in.
