I got the NTV to 137,000 miles , though 20,000 of those were not exactly mine though and the miles were spread over 2 clocks.

It ran like a pig due to other factors (like falling apart carb rubbers , weeping head gaskets random oil leaks and electrical fires).

I bet a certain courier will hold the record, though there used to be rules about this in that if you rebuilt or replaced the engine your miles didn't count,

And hence forth David Lambeth's 340,000 mile XT600 he likes to show up at various places on doesn't count as he rebuilt it a couple times. Nor does that 600,000 mile gold wing as they replaced the engine twice.

Not mine, but the bike pictured below has done over half a million miles.

I'm well out of the running, even though my bikes are perhaps higher than average.

The Blade is just a smidge under 40k and the CBR6 is a little over 80k...

...my RXS is a positively youthful 22k or so... Smile

One of the guys on the hornets nest has done over 110,000 on his hornet 6. I find that pretty impressive!

My previous Africa Twin (the grungy one in the pic) at 130,000 miles and it's shiny replacement at 39,000 miles.

Sold the engine and frame of the grungy one with nearly a years MOT and 6 months tax still on it and it got rebuilt and is riding about somewhere near Portsmouth now. Kept everything else (wheels, bodywork, exhaust, controls, electricasl components etc)

That was a few years ago. The shiny replacement now looks like the grungy one and is just about to clock over to 80,000 miles. The exhaust from the grungy one is now sitting on the current bike, as are the crashbars and the handlebars.
