I have 23,000 on my '01. I plan on doing about 5,000 this season. 48,000 is a lot of riding, man!

78,000 kilometres (46,800 Miles) on my '99 I've done 40,000 kms (24,000 Miles) in 18 months.
100kms (60 Miles) a day to work, plus the weekend fun stuff.
By the time 2006 is out I may have clocked 100,000 kms

I think my '06 just clocked 400km's, had the bike for 6 days, I could be doing better.
Will be happy to hit 12,000km's by the end of the year.
How many miles do people plan to do on one wheel? :-D

14,900 miles on my 02. It had just under 8,000 when I bought it in October. I think I like it. :-D
How many miles this year? As many as I can.

On which bike?
I plan on riding between 15-20k miles this year. I try to spread it amongst all my bikes.
Our riding season here in Vermont is not very long. Or should I say, I wish it was longer.
Take care!
Ton Up!

I got about 25,000kms on my '00, unfortunately only about 3,000 of those are mine 
This year might do about 10,000, depends how much time I get down south.
Hey Roadkill and Miker, you guy's had any trouble with yours, I was wondering about the longevity of mine?

Wobbly asked if I'd had any trouble?
Nope, well almost nope.
I had to replace the cooling fan because the blades flew off after getting jammed. Got a second hand one. Problem is that you get some road goo in the cowling which eventually stops the fan and either spins the blade off or blows a fuse. I plan to cut an escape route for the debris to drop through if I ever get a rainy day :razz:
I'm not sure what happened before I bought it, but it did have a rough start to life. According to the previous owner he only had to do the steering head bearing tension a few times. He reckons it's bullet proof, and so do I.
I use about 1/2 litre of oil every 10,000kms.
