Default What do you average per month?

Right now I am at a little over 1k miles per month purchased then bike in mid Nov and just turned over 4200 miles this weekend. Given time away from home for work and vacation and realy bad weather days I think now that spring and summer are here this may jup to about 1500 or more a month.

I bought mine on a Thursday, brought it back on Monday for the 1,000 mile check up. the service guy told me that I should have made an appointment before bringing the bike in for the 1,000 mile, I told him to look at the purchase date, he took it in right away. I probably average around 2,500 + miles a month, but my riding season is a little shorter then I would like. Right now my 07 is sitting in storage with 15,500 miles on her BTW, I am single and have plenty of freinds who love to ride.

Had mine for 5 months 5400 miles. By the Middle of May it will be 10k after the Dallas trip. I hope my bike can last for 7 years with doing 15K a year minimum.

I just want to see what a 7 year old Ultra sells for with 105k miles on it. It probably won't[:@]

I'm a daily rider. I do around a 1000 a month but winters really slow me down so it averagesout to 10k a year.

you didn't hear it here, but, change out the speedo at 20k, and then put it back in at trade in time. Have you ever wondered why there are so many 10 year old bikes for sale with 20k on the clock?

Between 1500 and 2500 a month, depending on weather. That does not include any long trips.

Just got back from hitting the post office, bank and grocery store...turned into 165 miles.
