i've done about 6000 miles on mine in just under six months which is when i past my test,in total though i do about 30,000 miles a year,the mileage is why i got the bike as my last car was costing me about £70 a week in fuel :oops:,so i got rid,bought the bike got a run around and saved my self a fortune in fuel costs.still haven't quite figured out what is more fun though the old car or the bike.Perhaps with more experience on the bike and that question will answer its self.
