Just checking to see how many miles you guys/gals have on your bikes. Multiple entries over time welcomed... sort of a mileage log and also to see who's riding their bike and who's not.

So, come on and post... it's always interesting to see how many and how few miles some bikes have.

year of bike: 2008

date purchased: march08

present mileage as of today: 1913 (yes, that's my mileage and not my year of birth! :mad:)

year of bike: 2008

date purchased: Nov 08

present mileage as of today: 1513 (and that's definitely NOT my year of birth! geez, give some credit.......... I am older. :eek:) hahaha

I haven't been able to "ride to work" vs "ride to ride". At the moment I don't have a way to carry anything, ie back pack or larger tank bag. The tank bag I have is good, is just too small to carry anything much.

If you need more capacity, try adding a tail bag along with the tank bag. I use a tail bag when I ride to work.

Unless, of course, you need to carry really big/heavy stuff that just won't fit on the bike.

I rolled over 6000 yesterday

Bought in April. I had about a 2-3 month period in there with no riding due to repairs.

year of bike: 2009

date purchased: 9/08

present mileage as of today: 656

Got it April 16. 9404 miles

5300 on the ninjette, we bought it with 1100 miles on it in May so that's 4200 of our own. Not a heck of a lot, but in that same period I've put on at least 15k miles on the other 2 bikes. It's been a good riding year. :)

date purchased: march08
present mileage as of today: 1913

So assuming you purchased it on March 31, that's 7.9 miles per day. You've so far averaged 13.4 posts per day on this board, for a posts/mile ratio of 1.7. By no means should you post less, but gosh darn it start riding that thing Kelly! :ride: :thumbup:

I got her 8/6, went out of commission 8/8, started riding again in october I guess, and now have like 413 or so :o
But hey, i've become a pro at taking her apart to do things like shim the carbs :D

Tony, I love the look of your bike! Looks clean for the age. I have a soft spot for all 80's and early 90's sport bikes. A very BAD soft spot.

My 08' 250R (fiances daily ride) has 3000km +or- 500. I really cannot remember. It has been in storage since October. Its been a hard year with snow. Several feet of it everywhere.

Green bikes are just more satisfying... we don't need to ride as much to know what fast is. :p

Well it doesnt get that much dust...since I dont get to see it that often when I do ride it, it gets washed about once a week;). I hafta make it feel like its still loved and not neglected :(


And thats very true kkim. As soon as I get home from the airport I just look at my green ninjette and its like its saying "Yea ive been sitting here for a while...but I still kick ass and can carve it up :thumbup:"

If you rode more you'd get used to it and you would know how slow it is :wheelchair:

Yes, much better! It will be taken care of better there than I ever did.


you should install the AP quiet core christmas gift on the blue bike in the garage, not the black one... :D

I have not yet. Just got back from Oklahoma and plan on getting the bike checked out fully. I have a little vibration and hesitation in first gear.

I'd be very curious to know what they find. Be sure they provide you details if they need to adjust the valves... which valves needed what shims, etc.

I just hit 10,500 today and bought my bike April 16.

have you had the valves checked/adjusted yet?

Nope not yet. I read in another forum where this guy checked the valves at 10k and it was within spec still. Engine sounds perfect. I'll have it checked at 15k.

Vex checked his at 8K and needed adjustment. Just trying to get a feel on how these bikes hold their specs.

In that case I better have it checked soon.

When you do have it checked/adjusted, could you please post your results here?

I put almost 70,000 miles on my car per year.

How? :eek:

I've averaged 10k miles per year on my car since I got it a little less than 5 years ago. I couldnt imagine driving 7x as much!

Oh and if you averaged about 50mph (which is probably too high), you would spend almost 60 days in your car a year! It comes out to be about 4 hours a day. You better be driving on some fun roads!

I hit 23k this month.

I put almost 70,000 miles on my car per year.

How? :eek:

I was thinking the same...

I am curious to see what the mileage is on bikes out there. Mine has 15,000 and still going strong.

My baby has about 2300 miles on it.




I wanted to take a pic of the odo when it said 2112. *pouts*

What is the signifiance of 2112?

Mine is just about to roll over to 4200

I did have to replace my engine recently, at around 38k miles as it had some problems probably due to abuse by the p.o.'s, but this new/used 5k mile engine seems to be running pretty good. I hope to have it for quite some time & many more miles.

At one time I had a 125mi one way commute everyday on the I-5 in California at 3am. On Fridays I would either ride to San Fran after work or BigBear, maybe Mammoth for the weekends during the summer. During the winter I was working a second job over the weekends. If I remember right, that year I put right about 65,000 on a 74' Honda CB450.
I also bought spare parts every chance I got. I had 2 sets of Cylinders with Matching pistons and rings. 2 spare cases, 1 spare crank, couple sets of rods, a couple sets of heads etc etc. Some weekends were spent doing tear down and rebuild with fresh gaskets.

Yup. :) The Ninja 250s here are of the "K" type, not the "J" type. They've don't have a fuel gauge, though, which I was a bit surprised of when I first got it.

It now has 3,400 miles on it.

I have 2000Km in 10 weeks.

800km (500 miles) in 3 1/2 weeks with some bad weather and school finals. The number will exponentially spike once I hit 1600km and it's broken in.

Not too bad for a bike that, immediately after purchase, broke the fuel valve, and then blew through an o-ring on the carb, and had to have a million other little things done to it. New tires on order and then she's done (for now) and ready to rock.

Amazing how much comfort a little time in the saddle is bringing. Plus, I can't stop grinning every time I come back from a ride.

Bought new Mar. 08

20,967 miles. ( 33,741 km )

About 1000/month

Total elevation change ~250,000 feet. ( ~ 76,200 m )

Temperature range 25-110 F ( -4 to 43 C )


Probably average 45 mph, so about 465 hours, or 19 days.

...or ~10 work weeks

Total elevation change ~250,000 feet. ( ~ 76,200 m )



huh? :confused:

huh? :confused:

Total vertical distance travelled, up, down, up, down, etc...

Oh, man, I expected you to get this first....It's sorta common to refer to mountain trails w/ total elevation change.

You did help me catch a decimal place, it's even more
About 180 trips up and down a 7000' mountain 14,000' elevation change daily.
Should have been 2,500,000 feet total elevation change.

Point was, the bike is working hard when I drive to work, ya'know?

...and she likes it.

ah, okay. I was thinking... man, does this guy ride out in space? :D

I put just under 1000 miles on my '05 from when I bought it in April to when I sold it last month. Not sure of the exact miles on that one, but as for my current '09:

Purchased: October 13, 2009 with 971 miles on it

Current mileage: 1778 miles

So that's 807 miles of love for my baby as of today :D

I've been riding a lot more as of late now that I use my bike to commute to work and back everyday (I don't really save any time doing so, as it's a short ride with minimal traffic, but I find it's a great pick-me-up in the morning, and something to look forward to at the end of a long day) and now that I've gotten a taste of canyon riding, it's hard to keep off it. That, and the '09 is more delicious than bacon and Fall and Winter in Los Angeles are positively beautiful <3

Can't wait to get that payment down so I can modify the crap out of her. lol

Had to pass up my exhaust to do so.

2k8.

I've put about 4500 miles on it in the one year I've had it, more than half of which were a two-week, 2600 mile trip. Parked it last October, de-pickled it in late March.

2009 85 miles just got it wen and its been raining.

Bought bike February 5th 2010, 1019 miles on the clock 2008 model.

Just hit 2100 miles yesterday.

bought on black Friday 2009 (day after thanksgiving) with 1mi on the clock. I am looking at 8,500mi.

am i ready for a 600 yet ;)

Bought August, 2008 with 2 miles on the odometer. Now over 13,000 miles. There were about 5 months there where I almost didn't ride it at all because I didn't have the money for the valve service. :) I'd probably be pushing 20K, assuming that I wouldn't have had the same issue at the second valve service. :D

Bought mid-October, 2008 with ~4200 on the clock.
Now @ 12,100mi. There'd be tons more, but I have to drive my cage to work every day due to necessary hauling of equipment and live cargo

/threads merged

I'm at 7600mi right now. I really have not been putting on a lot of miles on it lately. I brought my bike home on 6/1/09 and by September I had 6k miles. Then I pretty much parked it until December when I got a new tire. I put almost 1k miles on it in January when the temp was below freezing for like 2 weeks, because I only had water in my car's cooling system and it froze up, so I was bike only for the very coldest part of the year.:rolleyes: Lately I've only been riding on super nice days because I don't feel like doing the valve adjustment right now. I think if I was riding as much as I was last summer this whole time I would probably have at least 20k miles on it by now.

Bought mine back in Feb 09 with about 5000+ miles on it. I have gotten it up to 12200+ miles on it now.

Got it 9/9/2009 with 3 miles on it, no license and no idea how to ride it. Yesterday 26/04/2010 it has hit 3002 in those 229 days. That's an average of 13 miles per day over the winter period with snow and everything else :)

Bit of rust starting to form on the end and bracket of the exhaust, rear IRC tire's are not squaring off its keeping its shape and has about 5mm of unused rubber on each side. Think my rear brake disc is starting to warp slightly, got a vibration from the left of the screen due to the rubber bolt that holds it down deforming, think I've fixed that now, got a vibration from the clutch lever, but put some tape on the end of it to dampen out the metal on metal noise.

24,500 km on an 09 so far

Bought my '09 with 2km on St Patty's day 2009. Only have 3,000 kms (1,800m) so far, not bad since I have a short riding season and working 2 full-time jobs during the warmer season.

bought feb 2010 at 4200, now around 5700 - i ride as much as i can. driving the cage is so mind-numbing now......

Almost 17k so far.

Started riding the end of March 2009 with 2,042 miles on the used '06 I bought. Now have 12,881 miles, most of which were racked up from May through December. I intend to do at least another 12k miles this year, hopefully more. :)

08 Ninja--new in June 08. 9700mi.

08 - got it w/466 on the clock, now pushing 11k. On a side note I'm getting on average 57mpg since I got her. :thumbup:

08 got her with 700 and now she has 1100

Got it in Oct. '09 with 1475 - it now reads 2948. Guess I'm about 50% with PO in terms of miles. Reminds me to due an oil change after the next ride.

I got my '09 in the middle of October of 2009 with 971 miles on it. As of my ride home from work today, it's now at 5210. So not too terribly high. My weeks are starting to get a bit busier though, so I probably won't get a chance to put nearly as much time aside for riding as I'd like.

Wow these are much lower than I expected!

with the exception of TonyKZ1 ofc xD

Mine would be higher if I could find some quality rain boots. That is my limiting factor. That, and I could use a tail bag that is water proof (hard bag).

My old 250 had 38000+ kilometers (23000+ miles) before giving it up and getting the 08' 250.

Now have 15000+ kilometers (9300+ miles) on the 08. Would be more, damn those canadian winters. Although, having a heated vest helps alot in early spring and late fall up here.

46% that have less than 5k? wow!

Mine is an '07-bought it last summer with 1497. I have added 1k to that.

Ehhh can I blame the rain?

Ehhh can I blame the rain?

nope, bikes work in the wet too :eek: shocking i know :D

I know I know, just dont relish getting to work soaking wet, granted i work outside so end up soaked anyway.

Then again personally I dont feel safe on the roads in the rain, combination of not trusting other drivers and not comfortable riding in the rain.

Granted my worst ride topped rain. Flasher relay burned out so I had no turn signals, roughly 20 degrees at night, and half way home it started snowing on me. :eek:

I love it, everyone has lights on, you get to hang off to try keep the bike upright more, if you wearing proper gear you don't really get wet, the noise of raindrops on your visor is a nice sound, it cool stoping at lights and having steam rise through the handlebars. Still have way more grip than you would ever want to use on the street available. Much more subtle feedback from the tires. Easier to get your head into that focused state.

Only part I don't like is that a chain lube will be needed pretty much within a day of that ride.
