Unlike many on here, I only started my biking life 5 yrs ago...

Initially planned on starting on a 250, a few work colleagues told me to scrap that & go for a 600. So I picked up a 2nd hand Yam MT-03.. great bike to start off on, loads of low range torque (for a starter) great around the city, but a bag'o'shite if you wanted to go over 70. Got bored with that after a year & a bit.. and sensibly, after checking out & testing several different bikes, for a C1H. Saw it for sale, great condition, decent price, & as soon as I went to see it - game over, there were no other bikes for me.

Bought it with about 11'000miles on it & I'm just about to hit 35'000. Can't see me ever parting with her... which is good, as all the 04/05 bikes I have seen for sale (haven't dug that much) have around 15'000miles on max.

So, how many miles have you clocked up on ya bike?

Me myself have only been riding for 5 years, passed me test had a sv 650 for 6 months did about 3,500mls in that time then went out and bought my ten and now have done 18,000 on that

no idea prior to 2004 but on my current bikes .... since 2004 ... bought my 03 R1 new in 2004 and its now just over 104,000, did 10K on my KR R1, only owned for less than a year, 10r approx 45k in last 2.5 years.

due to spending the last few years mountain biking there's been no time to ride my 10, 7k in 7 years !!! shocking I know

When I was in my 20's i rode every day but these days i rarely get out on it 

[NinjaTim]

Got my 05 in 2009, its on an 08 plate and had 1100 miles on it, its now on 4000 miles so about 2900 miles in 3 years

 I did less than a 1000 miles on the road before converting it to a track bike and its not seen a road since.

[Jester]

Done about 600 miles in the 3 weeks I've had my '08.
No specifics on previous bikes, though calculating it I reckon on what is likely a wildly inaccurate guess of 150k total.

[kwaka jack]

I got my E8 just over 3 years ago. It's on a 09 plate and it's got just over 15,000 on it now 

[mongo]

must of done easily over 100,000 miles on my bikes in the 12 years of biking.

Bought my 07 barra brand new in april 07, just away to turn 42,000 miles.

[EXJ10R]

Riding 15 yrs.....average about 3-4000 miles per year for 'social domestic pleasure'
Work related.......a gazillion

[Wheeltrax]

Been riding 30 years including being my only transport, continental touring, courier work, a race season, full time instructor and advanced instructor, and lately (10 years now) as tour operator and Nurburgring rider.

Fair play... how many has your 04 clocked up now?

[Wheeltrax]

Had to put new clocks on 2 years ago and theyre showing 30k plus

[RedRock]

Well, I have a pair of Daytona Roadstar boots that have clocked up 90,000 on a K1100LT, the bike has long gone, but the boots are still going strong

Well, I've had my licence (motorcycle) for 11 years, though up until the past 12 months I've never had a complete year on a motorcycle! For one reason or another they were always crashed or off the road for at least a small portion of any 12 month period   

So far I've clocked 6,000 on this ZX10R since I got it last April (2011).  Before that I had a ZX7R which I reckon I did less than 1000 the entire time I had it.  I'd guess 4000 on the ZXR750, a few on a borrowed bike and a good few thousand on my 400.

So all in probably less than 15,000 bike miles in 11 years!
