Title: HOW MANY MILES HAS YOUR BIKE DONE?
Post by: rippers on May 31, 2013, 09:09:22 PM
Just wondering what sort of mileage our members bikes have done. I know the engines are supposed to be bullet proof.
Mine is a 2011 with 19,500 miles thus far.

Great stuff keep it going. Interesting we all seem to use the bikes for what they were designed for.
Just interested to see if we have any really high mileage bikes out there.

2011 model with a mere 15000 on the clock. Asif had a high mileage GTR (over 50k) on the clock and I think Boomers is also pretty high mileage.

2010 model which I had for 2 years :smiley:
7,900 miles which included 3,250 miles around france and Italy, 750 miles on a Scotland weekend, 900 miles on a Devon and Cornwall long weekend, 500 miles at the cotswolds weekend and the remainder miles were day rides here and there :grin:
not a lot of miles in 2 years for a big comfy tourer :no: but in my defence I also have the use of a second bike and my car when the weather was or is :shit: :smiley:

Looking at this it looks as if my GTR may be one of the oldest on here. Any other contenders for senior GTR1400 (sorry Boomer not 1000cc) I know they are out there cos I had a test ride on an 07 reg bike at bike safe in 2007.

40k now, Sept 2010 bike. Really loving the bike and planning to keep running it for many years yet.

Mechanically superb and reliable, cosmetically not great now due to me being a sponge dodging owner.

Sorry Barry but my 1400 was registered and in my garage on the 5th August 2007.
They are still the 08 model just sold in 07.
The first ones sold & delivered in the UK were in the last week of July to people who had pre-ordered.
The Yanks had them about a month before we got them so the oldest will be over there or in Japan.

That makes me feel better,  I thought my one was the oldest one on here. I would change it, if I could find anything as good, but I can't..........

If that locks up you will be down and sliding before you can start to think  :shit: let alone say it.
