Milage question

Hi

What would be considered an average yearly milage in motorbike stakes??

Cars i'd say 10 - 12K but bikes I dunno

I have an offer of a fz6 04 plate with 20 000 on it and just wondered if it was a bargain at £1900

many thanks in advance

Average is probalbly about 3-4000 miles a year.

So that bike is only at 5k. If it's been well looked after there should be no problems.

3-3500 miles apparently,

In many insurance things I always see 1000-2000-3000-4000+.

Though that being an average is probably pulled up by dispatch riders , Kitty etc.

sort of like average wages , average is 24K, median is 17K.

Going by the prices on Biketrader £1900 looks a good price.

Since November I have done around 13000 miles, although this is going to drop a lot when I go to university.

I got told by insurance that average on a bike is 5000 miles per year, so 20000 on an 04 plate should be ok. Just make sure it looks like it has been well looked after - unlike my bike that is getting ridden to death Laughing

I probably end up doing 10-13k a year that is a 35 mile round trip commute + weekend blasts.

Quite a lot of people have more than one bike, so while they might do X mileage per year, each of their bikes will do less.
