Mileage What's yours?

Post by elric »

Do they go on for ever?
Like most I guess many of us never look at the total mileage due to watching the miles between fill ups, I had a peek at mine at was a litle shocked but she's still running lovely.
So who has the most?

Mine reads 63K
It's only easy if you know the answer!

My bike (not a Storm) is 13 years old and approaching it's 55,000th mile clocked. Still pulls like train for what was a pretty old hat engine even when the bike was new. 100+ with two up (under closed circuit conditions, of course... ) and still fully capable of embarassing the arrogant drivers of mediocre sports car off lthe line.

38,000. I'm putting 2,000 miles a month on it commuting, so I'm glad to hear yours are still running strong at 60k.

After a while, what's on the clocks only matters when you're trying to sell.
Mine's on its third engine, but then I do tend to use it harder than most....

About 10,ooo kilometres since the last engine rebuild.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
