Highest Mileage Ninjette?? Who's got the most?

kkim · June 14th, 2009, 11:17 PM

Looking for the ninjette rider with the most miles on their bike. Please state if you have a new or pregen.

To qualify, you must have put the majority of miles on the bike, if you bought it used. Don't want to hear about a bike that has 79,000 miles and you just bought it last month with 78,800 miles on it.

Okay I'll start to set the benchmark... I have 3000 miles on my new gen. Top that!!

So, come on... bring it on and post up... I'd like to see who has the most miles on their bike and consequently ask them about what holds up and what fails.

DerTeufel · June 14th, 2009, 11:51 PM

7k on the 08 250, the TL has 95K (had 40k on it when I bought it in 06)

00v_Lucky · June 15th, 2009, 12:21 AM

kkim, I thought you would have more miles on your bike than that. Or is there a hint of sarcasm in there I cannot see.

kkim · June 15th, 2009, 12:24 AM

no sarcasm... and that's my true mileage.

this post was inspired with someone with a new gen that had quite a few miles and I'm just curious who has the most here.

so, highest now is 7k on a new gen.

00v_Lucky · June 15th, 2009, 12:29 AM

May I ask why there are so few miles on your bike? isn't it on its 2nd year? My bike is a couple of months away from reaching a full year and is about to reach 4000 and I rode it rather conservatively. Must it be, because everything on the islands are short distance?

kkim · June 15th, 2009, 12:34 AM

Only use my bike to commute to work on perfect weather days. 54 miles round trip. All other roads are boring to ride so the mileage is slow to build. Those 3k miles are very twisty miles, though.

gitoy · June 15th, 2009, 12:46 AM

okay kelly, i'll bite...bought an 01 for $1100 with 6,000 miles, sold it for the same price with 28,000 miles on it...bought an 04 for $600 with 328 miles, still have it with 19,257 miles on it now...granted both bikes were a little rashed and plenty of tlc but i don't see the bike when i am on it...

and i must have gone through seven sets of tires and several oil and filter changes, l don't even adjust and clean the chain except lube it every 500 miles, never washed the bikes...oh did i mention i also rode 2k on an 01 zx6e, 9k on an 05 zzr600, all this since august of 2006...yeah, i spend most of my time riding...

i know that is not what you asked for but that is my story

kkim · June 15th, 2009, 12:51 AM

thanks for playing.

so, that's 22k on the 01 and 19k on the 04. guess you really do like riding. that's a lot of miles under your belt.

gitoy · June 15th, 2009, 01:00 AM

i am retired and this is all i do except watch motogp...i ride about 30 miles in the morning, then ride about the same in the afternoon and sometimes at night when my wife is at work...it is because of this road...http://www.lateralg.org/roads/orange/laco3.htm

kkim · June 15th, 2009, 01:03 AM

Congrats!! sounds like you're having a great retirement!

I should be so lucky when I retire.

Blue Ninja 250R · June 15th, 2009, 01:10 AM

I got my bike on 3rd. Nov. 2008 and have about 7500 miles on it.
And to gitoy

np6000 · June 15th, 2009, 06:39 AM

New Gen (08): 20561 km = 12850 or so miles.

Nemy is gonna have me beat by the end of the season though

unowned · June 15th, 2009, 07:00 AM

i'm almost at 11,000 km (i live up north)

noche_caliente · June 15th, 2009, 07:54 AM

I'm a little over 600

Just thought I'd make Kelly look better

Snake · June 15th, 2009, 07:55 AM

Hey NP! Glad to see you migrated over here. Welcome to the forums! And I think you're in the lead right now for new gens. And yes, I'm catching up. My 09 should have atleast 14000 kms by early August

noche_caliente · June 15th, 2009, 08:04 AM

Yes, welcome NP!

Alex · June 15th, 2009, 10:39 AM

GaryJ has just rolled over 100K on his 2001 ninjette. Linky.

Kelly - I put 1,450 miles on a bike yesterday, though it wasn't a ninjette. Does this mean I can't ride for 6 months to let you catch up?

paterick4o8 · June 15th, 2009, 11:14 AM

np6000 already beat me, but I have ~8.3K miles on my new gen 2008

Kurosaki · June 15th, 2009, 11:35 PM

I'm kinda surprised I racked up that many so far.

I don't think I really ride it that much... Even when it was my only bike.

demp · June 16th, 2009, 07:44 AM

so far about 4k on my 09

edit: err thats km's (yeah I'm canadian)

tinng321 · June 16th, 2009, 07:50 AM

Watch out. I'm climbing up slowly.
Thanks to Kelly's DIY, my bike now ride and shift a lot smoother.
Changed my oil and filter yesterday.

Banzai · June 16th, 2009, 07:53 AM

Sorry, not me. I've only just hit 4500 miles on my '08, but more are being added every day!
