Ain't that the truth. Had 45 on my 09 when it got repoed in 2011.
Ride it baby!!!
Wow... I'm slipping... I have only 15k on my present bike for the last twelve months. Have to get out more often. 12k of those miles was with the 120r, too.

Keep hopping grasshopper, you're way behind.
There are a bunch of people who let their bike sit in the garage trying to keep the mileage low for resale value. *u*K that, ride it and be happy and enjoy every mile. Be proud of the miles you put on your bike. One day you will be able to tell everyone you have over a million miles on a Harley, then ask them how many miles they have on their Suzuki and smile at them.

I bought my 08 street bob last year and the original owner had managed to get 5000kms on it. Like WTF. I put 5000kms on it the first month I had it.
It now has 32000 on er. 12000 on the 106. Our riding season goes from April til sept/oct or so so I want to enjoy our short summer being in the wind.

Ride it, and love it. I killed the 120r once. Cost a bit to go again. 60,000 km I had a wreck -- damn gremlins. Rebuild progressing. Resale? Why would I sell the one thing that has seen me through thick n thin?
Screw it, love it, and ride it as much as possible!

I had 33,000 on my RKC when I traded it off for my 2012 SG last March. I have 8800 on my SG now. I love putting miles on my bikes, but when something new comes outits hard to tell yourself you do not want it. Put the miles on and enjoy them and when you are able or you find something new start over on your new ride
