How Many Miles on 2 Wheels?

[outasight20]

Just wondering how much experience everyone here has when it comes to riding on two wheels. I'm only counting miles out on public roads.

Right now I'm at 17K miles since I started riding in May of 2011. I feel like I've learned an incredible amount in that time. Interested in hearing and seeing everyone's experiences.

 

[Ssky0078]

I've got 1400 miles in 15 days. Should get about 350 in on Saturday/sunday

Bought my first bike (fizz) at the ripe old age of 34 in April of 2012 and put 7k on her and counting every frigid mile. Have a few hundred over the years on other rides.

Have every intention doing 10k next year. Might even go for a saddle sore 1000, too.

 

[Signal 50]

About 50k miles.

I seem to ride more and more each year. Last year I rode WELL into the winter and more or less all winter long. This year was my "Dont care of it's raining" year where I started commuting rain or shine. I went 2.5 months without driving my car.

I also did my first two track days this year and realized how much I had to learn, even with 50k miles under my belt.

No idea, been riding for over 30 years. Did put 17k on the FZ in the last 3 years.

Same here, been riding on and off since 1964. I know its somewhere north of a 100K as I've managed around 75K in the last 6 years:thumbup:

^^^^
As with Jerry, I've been riding since the late '60's and totaling up the many bikes I've owned and ridden I have to put myself over the 100K mark on your survey. Man I'm old....

 

[stink989]

On the bike I've done almost 70k km in about 4 years. Makes me a little sad I have done over 100k km in the cage in the last 18months.

 

[motojoe122]

I just turned over 15k on the fizz, with it being my first street bike.

 

[JoeSTL]

First bike last year was a gs500 I only put a 1000 miles on. This April I bought the FZ and put over 6000 so far, and plan on riding all winter. I figure I'll put on 10-12k per year.

 

[Red Wazp]

My FJR was just shy of 90K when a deer killed it. Had about 20k on the FZ6 & FZ1 plus the 7.5k I put on my KTM this year. Add another at least 50k on the 6 dual sports I have owned. Man that's a lot of tires

 

[SweaterDude]

as of right now i have 4600 is on the FZ, ive logged about 1000 on other various bikes through test rides or friends' bikes, and have logged easily twice that off road (i know that doesn't count here, but i ride better because of it)

 

[CHEMIKER]

45k to 60k here. I have 40k on the Fizzer, and somewhere between 5k and 20k from my previous 2 bikes.

[Cloggy]

approx 72,000 km's on the fz6 and about 30,000 Km's on my previous bike, plus some on my 50cc when I was 16 and plenty of km's on my pushbikes.
This puts me in the 60-100k miles group :thumbup:

 

[chuckfz6ryder]

I've been riding off and on since 1985. 14,500 on the 07 FZ6, 5000+ on my wifes 2003 XT225. I ride her 2006 Ninja500 when it might rain. I used to ride her ninja 250 alot when she had that. Had a 1981 Honda 750K, and started on a 1982 nighthawk 450, not sure hom many miles I put on the older bikes, but likey less than 50,000 miles total.

 

[Dave.TX]

16,500 miles in 15 months. Started riding in September 2011. All of it for pleasure, I don't commute to work as I have a take home car (with lights and a siren). Have slowed down racking up the miles since I've been spending more time at Melody's. Can't bring both to dogs with me on the bike.

 

[deeptekkie]

The best I can calculate about 99.779 km, give or take, on eight bikes, (at least).

 

[Xavias]

Been riding since march 2011

1983 Honda NightHawk 550 - 12,000 miles
2002 Suzuki SV650s - 10,000 miles
2008 Yamaha FZ6 - 12,000 miles

Total
______________________________
44,000 miles.

That's a lot of miles in 2 years...

 

[VEGASRIDER]

Really haven't kept a lifetime figure, but probably over 100k and still learn something everyday, since I ride everyday, rain or shine. I currently have 84k on my FZ alone.
