20,000 miles in a year ? (over 32,000 kms).

Wow that's quite an effort. I commute daily and ride most weekends and don't get anywhere near that !

I don't feel like I use it a huge amount, but then I did do 4k around Portugal & Spain in january & that's not unusual for a 2 week trip.

Not nearly enough.
Just about run in, 18yo this December
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

I do about 3-4K miles a year, on each bike.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

I've only averaged 7/800miles a year (except for this year when I've done less than 1000 so far)
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

I was averaging approx 8k miles a year before I sold mine :bugga:
My Bandit which I'm keeping only did 4 miles last year..To and from MOT. Must try harder :imrgreen:
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!

Will crack 6,000 covid kms this week, all through a shitty Melbourne winter, which is more than I had done on the bike in the previous 5 or so years and more than I have done on any bike in the last 10 years,looking forward to some warmer weather to ride in which hopefully won't be too far away. With the restrictions and business downturns here I can see myself continuing using the bike most days for at least another six Months instead of couriers, possibly more . As an aside, I have been racking my brain to think of a more suitable bike for the job and have come up with zero options, might have to keep my eye out for another14  if this one wears out

No point looking, they don't wear out.

Mine isn`t a commuter ride. Sadly, i`ll only get time for around 3000miles per year for the foreseeable future - quite a turn around from years gone by when i`d be clocking 20,000 + miles per year! I simply don`t get the time i`d like on the `14  :cry2:

If I get 2000 miles on Bertha in a year we're doing well.
Its almost all commuting if the weathers right, as getting cold and wet either side of a long day in the lorry doesn't appeal.
Between work and home, theres a shortage of hours in the day!

I worked out I average only 8,000 kms per year.

(She's got about 130,000kms on her)

Had mine out for a jaunt on the weekend, I saw it only has 38,000k (23,600 miles) on it. The black has more, but not much.  I can see a few long trips are in order, just getting the time during warm boating weather.  Still, it's there whenever I feel the need for an escape.
