Most miles.

[Sissy]

I thought this would be rather interesting, what's the name of the bike that you've seen with the most miles on? I'll setup a little leader board, I've always wondered how many miles bikes can get up to without exploding... The most I've seen (because I haven't been looking) is 17,000 miles on my NRG scooter.

A mate of mine had a CBR1000 which he used for courier work.

It had 150,000 miles on the clock.

Another mate of mine had an MZ Baghira Enduro with 130,000 on it. He was also a courier.

I've done 70,000 on a Yamaha XV535 Virago.

A friend of mine has an FZR1000 Genesis, the mileometer has gone around the clock TWICE. It's got over 60,000 miles on it and that was back last summer so it probably has more now. He rides it everywhere, Moto GP events (i.e. spain, checkoslovakia (sp) etc etc) bike is in EXCELLENT condition and runs sweet as a nut.. he's not had to do too much to it, just looks after it really well.

Makes the 110,000 on my BMW seem lightweight :-

[stinkwheel]

I've seen a CX500 with 214k miles on it.

I have seen a Harley with 115k miles on it.

I have seen a 250 superdream with 85k miles on the clock and a sticker inside the back of the speedo when we prised it apart saying "Oh no, not again!"

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles.

I met a chap on the ferry back from france, his vfr750 had 188k on it. The bike looked like new. He had treated it to lots of sparkly/shiny things. It was one of the reasons I bought one.

My vfr800 is only 47k at the mo, but thats been in 20mths, so give me time. I have been told should do 150k with regular servicing etc. I hope so. It still drives like new, though engine sounds a bit noisy now.

I've seen a Speedfight with 45,000 KM on the clock

Must've been very well looked after...

[cagiva gezzer]

My mates Supercity125 clocked up over 50,000km. Ok, its not THAT much, but for a Italian 125, its rather good.

My XJ's got 74000km on the clock. So that's ~40k miles.

The MZ's got 23km on it, so what, 15k miles?

I'd expect an engine to last 2000k miles with a bit of care.

[EuropeanNC30R...]

I saw an RGV at an Oulton Park BSB round with 42,000 miles on the clock. Anyone seen any higher mileage 2-strokes?

[Kickstart]

Hi

The FZ750 has 68000 on the clocks I think, and the Bandit has 51000. Sold my 400 Superdream with about 60000 on the clocks. My MBX125 got stolen at about 32000 miles. The Divvy I have just sold had 45000 on the clocks and the FZR that I am using for commuting has 37000 (up 4000 from when I started using it in September).

Saw a very nice condition Cagiva Freccia import for sale with just under 50000km on the clocks. Looked better than most 125 learner bikes with a tenth of its mileage / age.

All the best

My ZXR has 19,000 Km not bad for 13 years. Averages less than 900 miles a year. When I got the bike last year it worked out at about 776 miles a year it had done.

[Ste]

Let me see, my ZX6R clutch committed suicide around 20,000 miles and my TL1000R gearbox committed suicide aat 22,000 miles.

Bike engines don't last long.

A 1950's Vincent 1000 or 1100? 650000 miles. The man who owned it bought it from new and runs a bike touring business called bike and sun tours.
