Mileage?

Post by Frazla »

Ive had my CBR600 for a year and done around 13,000 miles and its not my main mode of transport. My 400 i had for a few years and put on over 30,000 km.

I usually get in a few holidays down the south west of France in a year which adds a bit but having a look at other bikes of that model my mileage is already more than most i see. It doesn't bother me, because id rather be riding than it sat in the garage for the occasional Sunday blast. Just surprised as so many seem to have such low mileages.

What sort of mileages do you all do :?:

Done about 2k in 3 months of ownership, so translates to 8k a year if it stayed the same. Its 95% pleasure, not commuting, so lets hope I can keep it below 5k or so for insurance purposes.

Just checked mine and last June when I got it MOT'd it had 12,500 on it, now it has 19,000, so that's 6,500 in just over 10 months :shock: , good job I upped my mileage limit on my insurance :? ....

Must be all these rideouts I keep going on :lol:

Was 43 miles when I started riding it on Wednesday.

Got my 600 mile service booked for next Thurs, but at this rate I will be waaaay over that especially with the rideout tomorrow being about 200 miles in total for me.
