Their are no freeways / highways / motorways here, it's all the same roads, I do the same trip every day and weekend so assuming is fairly accurate, I probably get better mpg because the max speed here is 35mph, my ninja is up to european standards so it's given fuel injection with economical fuel mapping.

Ok...I see the better mpg with low speed riding. My fuel economy went down on the freeway by about 10mpg

2,335 miles, half of it is "parking lot" mile! I'm sure it'll be a great selling point when I sell it for a 600! HAHAHA

POZZD · December 14th, 2012, 08:53 AM

Got my ninja in June, and she has 14400 on her. 100 mile a day commute, 5 days a week. sometime 6.

greenaero · December 15th, 2012, 09:58 AM

I bought my Ninjette last December with 23k miles on it. I now have 35.5k miles on it. Its running OK but not currently producing the fuel economy that it did earlier in the year. Some testing will tell. Happy Holidays, Merry XMAS and have a Happy New Year.

Daks · December 15th, 2012, 11:46 AM

18,100~

Bought it with just shy of 16k in June.
Kind of wish I put more miles on him by now, but at the same time, I still can't afford the 18k service yet. :P

MotoXGirl · December 16th, 2012, 04:58 PM

I have over 38,000km's on my bike.

Closing in on 5400 on my bike. I've ridden just over 700 miles so far in 5 weeks. Not bad for a noob. LOL

All those mile yours??? and in Maryland no less... pic of the odo to believe it... call me a doubting Thomas...

Alex · December 16th, 2012, 11:46 PM

You're a doubting Thomas. Scorch puts on the miles.

Old Guy on a '08 · December 17th, 2012, 07:07 AM

I really am not that big a doubting thomas. I was trying to

Scorch into posting a pic 'cause I'd like to see a ninjette with that many miles "on the clock". If I was commuting now, I'd probably be cranking out miles in that range. 'Course, I live in the "sunny south" where year round riding is "easier"... so Kudo's to Scorch!

josefmd · December 17th, 2012, 07:58 PM

Bought my 2012 250 in Oct with 78 miles, and after a short ride yesterday have 998 miles on her.

That's just getting warmed up, I'm doing 150 miles a day commute, 5 days a week, plus running errands on the weekends.

Got the bike in October, have about 6700 on it right now.

KawiKid860 · December 18th, 2012, 03:51 AM

Hehe just rolled over 20k on mine today, didn't realize it until I got off work and checked the odo to see 20,000 perfect! got her with 6,500 still runs like day one, if not better! Unfortunately haven't been able to ride much due to a balding back tire and icy conditions lately :/ Gotta lube up my choke cable for sure though, it's really getting hard to use and is necessary in winter

scorch · December 22nd, 2012, 05:22 AM

my mileage is shared between this bike and my 2002 ninja 250.

That's a butt load of miles....

SmithSwede · December 24th, 2012, 06:36 PM

Scorch: I have to compliment you, for you are the real deal! I remember seeing some of your posts from 2009 asking how long a Ninja 250 would last; if it could make 100K; how you would rack up that kind of serious miles soon, etc. etc.

And here you are at 70K+ miles. Just like you said. Well done! Hope you make 100K.

How's the cam chain on your bike (my personal hunch of the weak link). What else have you done to make it this far?

Forgive my cynicism. So often you see people asking/obsessing what is the absolutest best-est oil, or oil filter, air filter, tires, chain etc for their bike.................which they then sell after 6-8K mi.

Gurk · December 24th, 2012, 07:43 PM

Probably still under 5000

salcuta88 · July 10th, 2014, 09:44 AM

Just wondering.

I've got 6400 on mine. Got it 3 months ago and laready put 1000 miles.

Sirref · July 10th, 2014, 09:47 AM

About 8000mi on the N300 and have owned it for almost exactly a year (bought it new)
as for the frankenstein 250 track rebuild the frame/chassis has roughly 21k miles on it (about 7kmi were me) and the engine has something like 13.5kmi

LittleRedNinjette · July 10th, 2014, 09:50 AM

I had mine for 2 years (new with 2 miles on her) give or take before it got wrecked and in that time i was between 8K and 9K i think. Not sure of the exact mileage.

The 300 is around 3+K now. Got her with 1200.

cesar526 · July 10th, 2014, 10:04 AM

Mine has around 11k miles. I've put in 1k since i've owned it.

NevadaWolf · July 10th, 2014, 10:15 AM

48,000+.

Original owner rode 1,850ish miles between Oct 2011 and May 2012 before I got my paws on her.

LittleRedNinjette · July 10th, 2014, 10:20 AM

I was waiting for Teri to chime in on this one.

KrazyWalle · July 10th, 2014, 10:56 AM

Picked mine up new with .7 miles. I have logged almost 24,000. I went like 1.5yrs of no riding due to military and it has 25 miles more on the speedo because the cable broke on me once.
