Just as an interest, who's got the lowest mileage bike? (being used, not stored)
One of mine is 35,000k & the other is 40,000k (approx. 21,750 miles & 24,850 miles) so I'm out, Sounds like Notty might have a very low mileage machine.
I reckon Hooli probably has the highest mileage, but we'll see.
So come on chaps, bung yer mileage up.
I'm out too... 18,500 miles on a K2
I know Barmy's out . . . :rofl2:
I think my
blue/white k6 is at 54000 miles
Red/black k5 is at 23000 miles (thats 17000 in the last 28 months)
Emma's k6 is at 53000 miles.
:cheers:
Mine: 40500 km (~25300 miles) :hat:
6500 :bugga:
55000 km (34000 miles)

Must try harder buddy that a summer's running about.
:stir:
Is it 2 years? Jeez, that went quick. The Tex will be due for replacement shortly then
My K2: 129 000 km ( 36 000 km with turbo )
Does it clock up the miles faster being a turbo? :happy1:

this maybe indeed. Burnouts on every traffic light will add extra mileage :whistling:
K2, 35000 km.

It has - seems only yesterday as well
As for the Tex - using it so much more than I ever did my bling bucket - just in for its 10k service next week (that's 10k in 23 months of ownership - on my 1400, I only did 10k in 9 years of ownership!)
Joys of having a bike that takes 30 mins to clean top to bottom to make it immaculate as opposed to hours of polishing to keep it shiny.

Blimey it's not even run in! Still on the original tyres too?
I can't check mine as it's about 1,000 miles away but from memory it's on about 122,088 miles.

Hopefully home again very soon buddy.
:onya:
Mine was low when I bought it - 10,400 I think. I've put 3,000 on it so far, in just under a year. I don't think I'll win any prizes either way.
220,000 kms (137,500 miles) - no sign of it giving up just yet!
:cheers:
Bloke on FB in Aus with over 375,000 kms up - only issue to date has been fuel pump. Spent most of its life pulling a trailer (!) and now has a sidecar bolted to it.
I could cheat and not admit that the pic is a few years old when I fitted new clocks... :grin:

Bought it like 14 days ago, 18235km on it now, 19817km
Happy days
Come on Aussies, put your mileage up. Irish, you must be up there too . . .
35,000 miles on mine.
She had 25,000 miles on her when bought 11 months ago.
So its looking like 11k miles per year which isnt bad on a bike.
You could borrow Nottys for 6 months & double the mileage on it for him. He'd like that.

It had 2k on it when i bought it 2 years ago with 11 stamps in the book -and had to change the tyres as Barmy pointed out they had gone very hard :) guess the way FleaBay is going with 2k on it would have been worth £15k? :rofl2:
K6 22000km + (13670 miles +)
K6 with 48,000 kms (bought in Nov 14 with 15,000 kms)

Would have got £20k with the original tyres as a 'barn find time capsule' :lol:
Got it July 2014 with 11,000kms now 59,000kms...... :smitten:
Bought mine in 08 with 600 miles on the clock now has 12,900 :smoke:
Some of you lot must be on the original tank of fuel!
Mine was on 7,452 when I first test rode it in '07. I picked it up the next day.
Found this in a shop today. 3 owner's since new 2009 not even 8000 miles, you should be able to read the price tag in GBP.
Maybe all 3 didn't like the 14.
I've got the newspaper advert where the first owner sold my 14, it had 120miles on in the advert! that is less than a tank of fuel!

That shows they really gave it a fair go before getting rid! Their loss, your gain.
A lovely Black K5 with 20k miles, 6k of them are mine :cheers:
The wife left me as she thinks I'm obsessed with the bike, I can't believe it as we've only been together 10,000 miles!
There are obviously a lot of 1400's parked for long periods in the UK.

When I bought my K7 at 11 months old, the previous owner had done precisely 39 miles on it. He had subsequently bought a BMW and Harley and was just buying another bike so needed the room in the garage so had the dealership I bought it from sell it on his behalf. Still have the shop advert somewhere.
Red, where have you been ?? Christmas is coming cuz, hope you're getting the decorations sorted :whistling:
I was thinking the same Col, where ya been Red?
@Red Biker
He was having problems with internet access last week not seen him on for a bit so hope all is ok .

I bet the first thing you did was clean it though. All those filthy miles of road dirt :stir:

Of course! It had 11 months worth of dust on it :rofl2:
(Wife went mad when it came to the end of the summer though, I'd clocked just under 1,000 miles then from when I bought it (so bike was now 18 months old) and went to the man cave to strip it down a bit for winter/cover it up etc etc, anyway, 2 hours later the whole bike was in bits all over the garage ready to have a few coats of polish, literally just the engine in the frame. She of course didn't think it dirty/grubby, more that I'd stupidly pulled a brand new bike to bits. Over the years after that she came to
understand look on with dismay :rofl2:)
Of course now I have the Triumph, 30 mins with a jetwash and that's it. No shiny bits to polish :bugga: Lost my hobby after all those years...but get out riding more :boogie:

Went out Sat for an hour and ok riding just stings like buggary when I get off.
@ Seth I'm building up for the Scottish trip :salute:

There's a pub at the end of the run .

To be honest the weather has been too hot for me to ride recently as well!
I'm sure we won't have that issue in Scotland.
It's been mega hot up here one day last month it got to nearly 25°c :whistling:
folk were advised not to go out when it's that hot . :stir:
I promise there will be nice cold beer in the pub .
Much shite will be spoken
And friendships made and strengthened.
There should hopefully be some amazing scenery and fantastic roads as well.
:cheers:

@Red Biker That's the squeakiness coming out Red, it's caused because you've been sitting on your wallet too long & that big lump's put your back out! Get out & spend some money, you'll come right in no time. :happy1:
Dr Col is in, next patient please . . . :stir: :cheers:
@ kiwicol spookily you're not far off there!
Too many miles in the cage with wallet in my back pocket is my own theory :whatever:
