On harleys I probably have around 50k...on my current bike 200 short of 20K so far..
overall on all bikes I have owned somewhere in the high 500k range (works out to around 20K a year with a couple of years without a bike in the stable and a few years around 35K)

I have no idea, never was a goal to keep up with miles..
I did start at age 15 (1956) on a 1948 61 cube. first harley ,
(in my avatar)
several "scooter's prior to that .
I bet I pushed that thing about as many miles as I rode it .

From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..
I never really added them up..
But being we only get to ride five or six month a yr..
since 1964....
64 Caproila 8k.
65 SH, Honda 305, 14K
69 XLCH 35k
01 Honda 750, 31K
03 Honda 750, 18k
04 Honda 750,23k
GL Honda 1000, 1980, 45K
GL Honda 1100, 1983, 53K
GL Hondw 1200, 1984, bought in 89, 41K.
broke back and didn''t ride for 13 yr....
now new 07 Heritage with 36,000
So in the ten bikes I've own in all the yr I've done around 290 K miles on them,,
Remember we can only ride about 5-6 months a yr and I didn't ride for 13 yrs while I worked 6 days a week averaging 10 Hrs a day.
Final total is Ten bikes in 34 yr of riding = 8.5K miles a yr.... and that is only riding at most 6 months a yr...

Never really thought about it much, but roughly:
42,000 on my 86 Sportster
25,000 on my 87 FXR
120,000 on my 88 FXR
129,000 on my current ride, 2000 Road Glide
adds up to 316,000 miles on Harleys.
If you throw in miles I have ridden on Triumphs, Nortons, BMW's, Hondas and Kawasaki's I'd guess at least a half million in the last 50 years of riding.
More than some, but I know there's others who have ridden further.
My wife put 90,000 on her 97 sportster, now has about 50,000 on her '05 FLHT. She probably has another 20-30,000 miles on several different jap bikes too.
Helps that we live where we can ride year round, and that some years my bike was my only wheels, but more than a few of those miles have been cross country trips in all kinds of weather too.
