Well i have had the bike for only one year now and have managed to put on 24k miles on it over the past 12 with 3 of the months in really cold tamps that didn't allow me to ride at all, or very little such as to the store and back home again. Hopefully this winter won't be as freaking cold and can log more miles.

Already topped me. Last year managed 22k. This year going to *try* for 25k to get the patches from AMA'S "Long Rider" program.

Well done!!

Would rather ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow :P

EDIT: Although, if we get the R3 here i might be inclined to get one.

The rule is you need to total/crash your 250/300 to be ready for your R6

I think you still qualify if you rebuild said 250 too

funny how no one ever whines about how underpowered BMW M3s are and I've beaten one off the line on my 300 (obviously top end is a completely different story)
