Miles! Didn't feel like taking a picture - most of you have seen that already. That's about 7k miles I've put on her in 11 months in a place where winter makes up about half of them.
Rolled over 20,000 today

7k in 6 months in the mid west. Nice!
Did you run up to red line in a few gears to celebrate?

Nah - but I took her pretty low in a couple corners on mile 19999 - She's getting a present this weekend (assuming the pieces come!) - weight loss surgery and a deeper sounding (hopefully not raspy, though for around 30 bucks I don't have a ton of faith) fartbox!
Well you have a ways to go to get into the elite 50,000 miles club.

Save a beer for me at the mile marker? By then, I suspect the only parts of Miho that will resemble an FZ6 will be the frame and gauge cluster, so good luck finding me.
Me too, I'm at 19.7k!

Just rolled 18K on my 06. Having a 6 mile commute and a Victory Cruiser for bike trips really minimizes my mileage on old Mantis.

It's terrible living in california(insert sarcastic voice here)
You really can't blame it on the weather, the amount of miles you put on is up to you, some are more hardcore riders than others. I understand ice and snow is an issue, especially in Cleveland. But if it's just cold, or wet, I have no problem riding. If it's snow, I look forward to riding with my studded tires. .Winter time in Boise isn't California Weather either, but I still rode in 0 degree temps. Heated gear and waterproof rain gear would be recommended.

Point taken - I got out a handful of times this winter. Studded tires would be awesome to have then, as would heated gear etc. But when my cage has leather heated seats and all wheel drive, it makes it really easy to leave my bike in the garage.

Thats right, Paragon!
Awesome! I put 6800mi on mine since April. I guess I like the bike?? Haha

I have to agree, sure I could stud tires and try to drive through 5ft snowdrifts but I have a 4wd truck that does it better. And although I just sold my Ski-Doo Summit 550, it helped in forgetting the FZ6 on those beautiful 30 degree days.
Oh I'm at 19300 miles should be rolling over 20k in about two weeks.

You can do it Joe! My cruise control (v2) is coming in the mail tomorrow if you need some help. I can ride along side doing a cheer or something. :cheer:

Around 29.5K on mine. I've accumulated 16,000 miles in 16 months since buying in February of '12.
