i have over 31k on my 99, and it is my daily driver. its my only transportation here in FL. :fact i got it with 14k, and i've had it for 2 yrs. :flex:

 

is that your bike in your avatar? if so is there a thread with more front pics etc?
if not, can you post some?:hellobye

 

i drive my car to my early morning job. then the R1 to my 9-5 full time job. i just hit 7100 miles on it. in october ill have had it for a full year

 

I have ridden all of 1k miles all this year...

granted my bike is better than yours

 

i did that in one go,

 

I don't put much on my bikes either. Some guys I know put between 6-8k per year.

 

Well, some people don't have as much available time to ride as others. For some, the bike is a weekend toy, not a mode of transportation. Some guys like to get their fix of riding and speed in a couple times a month and are happy with that.

I have an 08 with just about 8500 miles on it. I wish I could ride more, but I only have so much available time to ride after doing everything else I want/need to do. My bike is not my main mode of transport, it's more of an escape.

I admire/envy the guys that can ride all the time. It just doens't work out like that for me.

So, in short, that's why some guys only put 3-5K miles on a year.

 

you could've just said some guys are older and/or lazier and saved space :hammer:

yup me 2. Me and my girl loaded up the backpack and headed from Dallas to Mena Arkansas spent the night, rode the mena highway, and headed back for a total of like 1500 miles in two days.

excellent pics of said girl or ban. she's gotta be BA to do that shit. :epimp

 

my 07 just turned 16k

 

sold my 05 r6 with 25k miles on it after two years of ownership... bought new!

ran into the same problem.. mind you, i sold it for about 500 buck difference than those with 3k miles on them!!


take care of it, maintain it, break it in properly... etc

half educated kid will be able to tell the difference.!!

 

yea my main complaint is that everyone FREAKS and tries to talk me down from $5800 (which is stupid crazy low for an 07) to $4800 saying "Oh its got 17k miles its about to blow up!"

It just sucks only ignorant people live in DFW lol.

 

What part of DFW are you in?

 

For whatever crazy reason, this year I put much more mileage on my track bike than any of my other bikes.

Hell, I almost did more miles skitching down the track in my leathers than I did street riding!

 

I have put 3,000 miles on mine in 9 months. It is strictly a weekend toy.

I have to dress nice for my job, so I have no way of getting to work without wrinkling my pants and shirt.

 

Some people also only get a few good months of riding weather...or if you are like me all of your bikes are in various states of disrepair!! :banghead:

 

well I'm in wisconsin so my ride time is short, but i've got 8700 on my 09.
I find alot of guys dont like longer rides, when I ask my buds to go and tell them I got a route planned thats 200-300 miles alot of them pass :no

 

If I'm looking for a used bike, I generally seek out the low mileage units. Why not? Plenty of them around. I also look for bikes in [near] stock condition without many mods.

I personally do not use my bike for daily transportation. I live in the big city...too many idiots in big cars and trucks not paying attention. Bike versus car, car wins. I'm a weekend and back road rider. I also avoid night riding. Too many drunks and critters out.

My bike is almost a year old. I'm closing in on 8K miles. Oh...and I live in DFW area too.

 

i agree with ya on the night driving. not many critters around here in the big city but with so many sports bars around and soccer moms it gets pretty scary

 

So do people just buy bikes and not ride them?

Yep, my car isn't cool enought to drive to Starbucks so I got the R1. It's only a few miles a week.

 

As long as you rev it to the limiter when you get in the lot.

 

Purchased my '09 May 6th (this year) - have 8,400 +/- miles on it today! I Ride...alot.

My '08 Speedy had 33k in two years when I sold it, and my '04 Thruxton has a little over 30k on it.

 

People are retarded and think anything more then 10,000 miles and the bike is on the death bed.

I have over 42k on my 03 and it's still strong.

 

My 04 had 33K miles when I left for Afghanistan in 2007. Had it for 3 years when I left. That was also with about 6 months total of shop time. When I bought it I also got the YES, Yamaha Extended Service plan which gave me 5 years warranty, unlimited miles. I thought about selling it at one point and if anyone would have complained I would have told them to blow the motor and get a new one. YES is transferable. For me, I ride hard and was glad I had the YES cause it saved me a lot of money. Also the guys at my local Yamaha dealer were cool when I laid mine down once they covered the electrical issues under the warranty. Mine doesn't have to be my daily driver but if I can I am riding!!! I also put between 25-30K miles on my truck those years too.

 

My 05 CBR1000RR has 34K on it, I just got the R1 two weeks ago.
It's got 700 miles on it.
I ride everyday I can.

Riding in LA is bad unless you can get in the carpool lanes, I only drive a car when I have too.

 

My 07 has done 40k, bought it new, has never missed a beat

 

I used to do 3-5k per year when i had my 03 for 3 years. Since then sold it bought the 07 brand new in dec 2006 and she only has 5k miles on her. Having a kid and a full time career in addition to only being able to ride 7 months out of the. Year will keep the mileage down.

 

i ride it everywhere even when it rains, snows, or blazing hot... unless i have to carry stuff or dress up.

 

98 R1 - 61,000kms thus far. Used for daily commuting, weekend rides etc. Just picked up 09 Raven, so 98 will get pulled out of garage on sunny weekends. Can't see the sense in having something like an R1 and hardly riding it.

My 98 R1 has just ticked over 60,000 kms. Used for daily commute, weekend rides, longer road trips etc. Just picked up 09 Raven so 98 will get used less and pulled out for weekend rides on sunny days. Can't see the sense in owning an R1 and not riding it as much as possible.

 

I use my 09 as a daily driver when it's not raining, but that's only a 25 mile round trip to work and back. I bought it the last week of April and I have about 1400 miles on it. If I didn't ride it to work I'd have hardly any miles at all. With a wife and 2 kids it's hard to find "play" time, but it sure is a relaxing ride home after a sucky day at work.

 

my 04 is at 4989. just got off her got her in march at 2194 from the orig owner

 

always rode my bikes everday, DD for me. Have to enjoy all year riding here, it be a shame to waste it.

Plus my car is a pure POS :crash

 

i thought they were motografix, but they look slightly different to this?:dunno
sorry about the small pic.

 

Ya i was lookin on their web site too and noticed that. :dunno all i can think of is that they changed their styles.?.?.?.? :dunno
