What an astonishing accomplishment. 200k miles in six years, traveling all over the country, and it looks from more recent videos adding track days now too.

In five and a half years of riding, I've managed about 25k miles on all my bikes combined. But at least I have the excuse one whole year from that being unable to ride.

Yeah, he's been over on SBN for a long time -- goes by thirdgenlxi. And he's well past 200K by now. He had an 80+ mile each way commute for years, so that's over 800 miles a week right there. Honda makes good stuff, and their CBR600 series is pretty much indestructible.

Yeah, he's a great guy too!

I actually think I'm coming up on my 25k mark in about 5k more miles

I average about 1k-1,200 miles a month. Not bad considering I only live 10 miles from work.
The Buell is at 13k after 2 years and having a 2nd bike the entire time and the Suzi is almost 11k after 10 months.

He rides a lot and he takes very good care of that bike. If I only didn't suffer from motorcycle ADD I would already have broken the "100,000 kilometer" mark and I think I'd be close to 100K miles.

My Canadian friend put like 50K on his bike the first year, I think he is well over 100K miles now. Of course its an ST1300, but he also used to tack it to the track till he bought an R1 for track duty. He is also the dude that won a free FZ6 from Yamaha...LOL

I'm happy that I do 15K-20K miles of DIRT riding a year...LOL Much harder on the bike and my body.
