Dude are you serious? Don't mean to sound like an ass but are you exaggerating?

Awesome if you're not though...you surely must of broke some record...:lol

How many miles have you put on your 04 r1?

 

Very serious. 11k this year on the 04. Just said that. I can take pics if you want proof.

 

There is a guy on here...mod I think that has over 90k on his bike. 01 I think. The things are too expensive to sit and rot..my car gets about 45 a year too. I hate beig home.

You need not find that thread as your pic is worth a million words.

I'm still trying to figure out how you did it...If you don't mind me asking...do you work or did you go through early retirement.

How long have you been riding? Would you say the R1 to be a reliable bike? Any serious problems with it?

I have had my R1 little less than a year...and yea I work...50-60 hours a week

I have no car so theres some of the miles...but at least Im riding.

reliable? take a look at that odometer again:lol

seriously I have not had anything major go wrong that wasnt my own fault...and that was a radiator that got a rock through it.

Im very anal on my maintenance(oil changes and lubes etc.....)stock chain and clutch...and yea I ride her hard every now and then.

in fact did about 200 miles this am...then it was off to work for 8 then 40 min ride home.


your bike should last you a good long time...have no fear its a yamaha after all:thumbup

 

huh, just noticed you are from chicago......so am I

orland park area

WOW. I thought I rode a lot but you guys are incredible. I have 30,000 on my 01/R1 and it still runs like a charm.:riding

 

about 10k a year for me.

 

Been doing 8-12k a year depending on work. Finishing my house this year so I hope to have time for 20+ next year.

 

I only put about 4-5k per year on my street bike... I also put a good 1k +- track miles on my race bike though... I also put x number of miles on my mx bike...

- BA

 

i do about 12,000 miles per season (Montreal). I start when the snow melts and stop when it starts snowing. i rode until november 22nd last year

wait till martinc comes on here. i've never heard of anyone riding more and consistently through the years.

 

Wow... i envy you guys... since i live up north, we only have a short season to ride, but i try ride whenever i can during the winter months.... for the most part the average milage for a year around here is around 5K.... I've had my 04 since may and i pushed 5K so far and people around here think that's above average.... I work and I take my bike to work everyday too (30 min.)... But still, i don't know how you guys do it....

 

Way below average for the people here, but my 6-8k per year is quite above average for the others in my area. Even though I live in Idaho, I still rode March-November last year.

 

Last year I put 22k in about 8 months.. Daily commute is 100 miles round trip plus a few weekends of recreational driving and trackdays.

Yeah it is...I'm actually in Lincolnwood near Niles and Skokie but I've been to Orland Park a couple of times on my bike.

 

I'm way below the average here - about 2 - 3k a year. I wish it was more though....

 

I do avg. 30,000+kms (18,000+miles) a year.

 

I do about 4-5k a year.... I don't really ride during the winter. I never ride in the rain!
