Fark thats awesome mileage dude. I did 20000kms on one in about 6 months, but this is for much longer!

Looking forward to the 'big bike'? Any thoughts?

Thats 3.27km/h avg ... maybe you should do some rider-development days? (or follow Jill for some tips :niceone:)

Makes me sad to see all the '03 to '06 bikes out there with less than 10,000k's on the clock. What are people buying them for it they're not going to ride them?


50,000 is what is all about. Go hard. Good work.

Very common. Mine had done 11500 miles in 6 years...13 months later, I've doubled that. And it's a toy.

Great effort GW, that works out to 694km per week and 99km per day. Might be time to upgrade to a bigger bike soon.

Ride on mate!

Some good mileage there. I always find it sad to see motorcycles that obviously haven't been ridden like they're meant to. The Harley I rode on Monday was 11 years old and had 50000km on the clock; that's less than 90km per week average over those years.

Sad.

I tend to put about 30000km per year on a bike. Why own one if you're not gonna ride it, eh?

That exactly what I think - no point in having something if you ain't going to use it

The other thing is I reckon you dont have anywhere near as many problems with them as long as they are serviced regularly and looked after. I would always buy a high mileage bike or vehicle thats only a couple years old against a low mileage thats 10years old

Awesome to see a real enthusiast. Sounds like you've had a trouble free innings on your bike. Good rap for Hyosung. Do you commute to work - if so, how far per day? What's your longest ride in a day? So many questions!!!

I see that a Hyundai just won COTY in OZ for a 1.6L Diesel. Just shows that Korean produce is up there with the best.

Yes I do commute to work a 70km round trip if I go the direct route :laugh:

Longest ride in a day was 750km from Wellington to Auckland and then back the next day - probably wouldnt do that again a bit painful in the arse department

As far as Hyosung is concerned I would definitely buy another although I do believe as long as you keep any piece of machinery serviced at the correct intervals and look after it it will just keep going and going.
My record for high mileage was 495000km in a Honda Accord back in the early 80s when Hondas where thought of as Hyosungs are now
