I liked the feedback this got last year when I posted this question. So here it goes. How many miles did you ride your bike this year?
I bought my 2010 in January, but I live in Maine, so getting huge miles per year gets tough. I just passed the 21,000 mile mark.
Last year I racked up a nice 26,000 miles on my 2008 before totaling it on Nov.18 2010. 18,000 miles the year before from May 4 2009 (when I bought it).
-
Bought mine in April 2010 and now have 21500. I think I had about 10000 on January 1 of this year. But I also have another bike that I put about 3500 on this year and 4500 last year.
-
Bought mine in January and put 8000 miles on it so far and another 4000 on the Goldwing.
-
Total miles for 2011 so far is just over 29,000 between 3 bikes but the majority was on the C14.
-
I keep hoping for a 30,000 mile year. I don't think I'll hit it. I always wanted to hit 100,000 miles in 3 years under warranty. I only ride it for commuting to work, so I don't get all the weekend trip miles.
-
You should set this up as a poll Scaff...
-
I don't know the exact number, but I think I'm about 18,000 miles total, with about 14-15,000 of that on the Concours and the rest on my Goldwing.

Yeah, I intend to break 30,000. It has been a great year for weather and I have had a great year riding. Trips to Daytona, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Indianapolis and Missouri. Plus more 200 mile trips to visit my parents than I can count. And my sis in Mississippi and my son and granddaughter in Wichita. I am planning a couple more trips for December.
edit: just checked my maintenance records and I happened to change oil on 12/30/10 at 45049 miles so actual C14 mileage for 2011 is about 18900.
-
I have done about 6000 miles to date for this on the Connie.
I have put about 9300 on my 2010 Voyager 1700 this year.
I thinks the Connie is getting a little jealous. OooooRaaaahhhhh!

Not enough...

+1. Only 15k. I lost about 5k due to illness for a couple months.
-
25065 miles and hope to get a couple thousand more before the end of the year
-

+1

Apparently I live too close to work now :-[
Only managed 8k on it since i got it in may, mostly commuter miles and I ride most of the time.
Maybe next year i'll get a few trips in ;D
-
18k. Hope to get in a few shorter rides before the end of the year. All the nice days seem to fall on my work ones...
-
25,000 miles, I will probably end up around 26,000.
-
I bought mine the middle of June 2010 and now have 17,300 miles on it. I rode a lot last Summer and then locally all Winter. I didn't do as many trips this Summer. I travel for a living so I have to fit my trips in when I'm home. I'm guessing that between last November I only did around 9,000 miles. I hopefully will put another 500-600 miles on it tomorrow. I have to go to Washington DC and may ride it.
-
Assuming that I hit the Last Ride of the Year down at the Stagecoach Cafe, I should come in at around 18,000 in 2011.

++ 1000

I'll let ya know when I'm done. But not enough.
-
So far this year I have 48000 miles on my Connie and another 15000 on my Nomad. I have plans to do another 4000 before then end of the year with the Connie.
-
I got my Connie on 10/1 of this year and I'll have 3000 miles on it by this afternoon.
I put about 6k on my Vulcan between January and October when I traded it in on the Connie.
-
63,000 miles is very impressive. You might be able to hit 150,000 miles and get warranty coverage. You must spend around $2000-$3000 just in tires. I'm jealous!!
-
a lil over 25K.
46K on my '10
-
Considering I am missing at least 2 months my 20000ish aint to shaby, 1500 on the KLR, and about 120 circles and swerves on training bikes X8, I should get in another thou or so next month. Next year I should log in 40-50k, more trips to the property on the bike, two passes each way, why wouldnt a guy ride?
-
My guess would be less than 1K between two bikes due to health reasons, But, I'll make up for next season.
-
About 7k.

I bought my 2001 C-10 the middle of October 2009 and rode it until Dec 1 when Winter closed my riding season.
Mileage: 1559.1
March - Nov. 11, 2010. First full season of riding and Nationals held in WI too! Put her away for Winter after hydrolock scare.
Mileage: 12302.70
April - present (Dec. ?, 2010) Late start because of carb rebuild and valve replacements. $$$
Mileage: 10,451.80
Mostly commuter miles, 70 miles round-trip and I ride most of the time.

I only did about 4500 this year. Hopefully as the kids get older, the miles will increase.
-
I did my mileage tally from October 2010 to October 2011, since that is when I got my first street bike (at age 43). That was my 1st year of street riding. There's probably another 1,000 or so miles on a KTM 450exc dual sport and at least that many on a KTM 300xc.
From October 2010 to October 2011 I rode 32,539. That mileage came from the odometer only. I live in California where the weather is very nice most of the year.
On the following street bikes:
2009 CBR600rr - 2,300 miles (sold)
2010 BMW F650gs - 8,000 miles (sold)
2005 GSXR600 - 1,100 miles (sold)
2010 BMW R1200gs - 14,016 miles
2008 CBR1000rr - 3,804 miles
2002 Goldwing - 3,319 miles
I went through several bikes last year to get the ones that I really want. I'm now seriously considering a sport touring bike to round out the stable!

Wow! That's a lot of riding. I wish I could do those miles myself. If only this pesky job didn't take up so much of my valuable time.

True DAT!

Some of ya'll make me jealous or your don't have car/job :chugbeer: I only managed about 4900 with only 5 good trips-most on my 20 mile round trip commute. I almost hate riding to work as I see her in the parking lot and just wanna leave and take serious rides!!

Not enough...
AMEN to that!:)
Had total knee replacement this summer, so lost a lot of riding time:(
-
Looks like it will end up being just a little over 10,000 miles.
-
About 4000. That's my usual yearly average. Bought my '09 C14 new this past January. I only ride for fun, mostly on weekends, usually do one or two trips a year. Went to the dragon this past spring.
Hell, I only put about 10000 on my car. Do most of ya'll not have jobs? ;)
-

I have a job but, I have 4 weeks vacation and a week of sick time. Not including all the holiday's we have off.
A good part of my 48000 miles was a 160 mile round trip commute. I rarely ever drive the car.
100CCC - 4800
2 BBG's - 3000
2 SS1000 - 2000
Misc Rides with friends - 4200
Commute to work - 34000
Thats just the Concours, my wife and I ride the Nomad for camping and two up riding which came to 15000 so far this year.
It's nice to live in Florida, you can ride year round.
-
Bad year for me. I rode 1600 miles on the Concours and 2200 on the Goldwing. Work keeps getting in the way of riding but I am taking care of this in June. June 1 is my official retirement date.
More time to ride. Wll be adding a golf cart to the stable also in The Villages, FL.

Ridden, how many miles have you ridden, not "rode." Sorry, that's been bugging me for days. ;D
I got in 500 miles on Monday. It was a beautiful day riding from Pittsburgh to Washington Dulles International Airport and back.

Maybe it would be better spelt (or is that spelled) differently? For example:
How many miles have you road in 2011?
<snicker>
Probably the fault of KiPass anyway.

WOW, tough (tuff) crowd today!
How many miles did you ride in 2011?
I sure hope I spelled (spelt) scaffolder right! I sure thought rode and ridden were one of the wonderful grey(gray) areas of the english language.
-
Yeah, this could lead directly into 'Is it a spelling checker, a spell checker, a spelling check....'. Kind of ironic, huh, if you miss- spell or miss- word anything to do with a spell checker (I mean spelling checker).
;D ;D ;D
Besides, we should all be much desensitized after reading the C-14 service manual. :-) And that is not a knock against Kawasaki, just a humorous observation.

Ae you saying there is a manual for this monster? I've just been holding on as tight as possible to her.
-
Affirmative. Manual store of local dealer to operator / wrench handed. Costing well less than many make mistake; always be having manual prior to broken motorcycle fixing.
P.S. Microsoft says the spelling and grammar check is very good being in this document. (seriously)
