How many km have you done?

[grusomhat]

Just curious to see how many Kilometers other Newbies have done on their bikes, and what sort of trips they have done.

I've got a Kr150 two stroker that keeps on going so it's done some decent trips with me. Done just over 6000km on it since November '07.

Done two long trips, one from Napier to Cape Reinga (did around 2000km.) And just recently went to Christchurch which was around 1500km.

Enjoyed both the trips except having to fill up every 150km but surprisingly the bike has faired well.

So, please share.

Think I tip the scales a bit...

Bought my KLX 250 end of July last year. Taking it in for it's 18000k service later this week...



No wonder I'm currently single.

[Tank]

6000 in the last 5 months (poor effort Tank) - but plan to put another 5000 on it in the next 2 weeks when I head down South.

[Hitcher]

I managed 17,500km in nine months on restricted licences on an FZX250 Zeal.

Those were the days.

[captain_andrey]

I did 13,000 km on a my old Hyosung on learners/restricted in one year. Another 12,000 since i got my full in september.

[Anarkist]

Had my bike 2 months, as of 23/02/09 and have done 5500km.

[kunoichi]

6200K in 4 months. Took her out on the coro and northland loop to better break the engine it. Good tip for newbies. it helped alot!:)

[slofox]

15,000 in eleven months

[Reido]

20,000 kms in... 11 months
-1 month while my bike was getting fixed

so 20,000 in 10 months?

2,000 a month doesnt seem like much

[bezajel]

Hmm 500 in my first three months, 2500 in my second three months (including a small roadtrip of 1100-1200).

[T bone]

think I've one around 4k in 6 months. Bit sad really, but just been busy doing other things to ride,grr so frustrating.

[Charlie41]

8000kms in 4 months - I don't commute tho, weekend riding only:rockon:

[LBD]

cripes mate..thats impressive
I am not telling how many k's I have done. Its too embarrasing.:baby:

[CB ARGH]

All up? Well over 15,000km since August last year.

[Cloggy]

Crikey:eek5:, some of you guys and girls do clock up the kays eh?
Got my licence for exactly a year today, and I've done a mere 9000km on my little Scorpio. And that is riding almost every week day to work and back. Only took the car on three days of the year.
Although I can see the mileage increasing once I am on my full license next week and can start to legally take my new machine for decent rides in the weekends.

[NighthawkNZ]

I average about 30,000km's a year and have since my learners all them years back

[crash99]

Yep about 30k per year for me. Commute every day 50ks in an 50ks home (funny how its about the same . . . ) plus a few trips away when I can :cool:

[EJK]

Around 40kms* this month (Feb). Hey hey where can I go with this thing?



*Fourty Kilometers

[TOTO]

80 000+ a year :wari:

[dblancer]

Probably upto 1200kms at the moment since my learners in December
But the Dunedin weather and working too much seems to be cutting back my time on the bike.

I am commuting to work on it now and I plan to do Uni lectures with it, bold move tho.... :clap:

I think a trip away in April should bring me some kms.

[TOTO]

But the Dunedin weather ... seems to be cutting back my time on the bike.

[Diavolessa]

Isa had my new baby for two weeks today and put 1200 on it already :clap:

[<Rhino>]

11,000km in seven months, daily commute of 70kms some days do a little extra. I have been on the odd social ride but dont tend to go on them much.

[Supermac Jr]

I need to get out more:mega:

[Chooky]

Took the CBX for a Wof yesterday and the testing guy said it's done 500kms in the last 6 months..
Take my hat off to you high miles fellas...I used to be young once...:yes:
But I do have another bike...20,000kms in 30 months....:cool:

[ducatilover]

[zzzbang]

[HappyGOriding]

First year did 9000ks. Looking forward to many more this year. (Aiming for at least 15000Ks)
The anticipation leaves me drooling.:drool::yeah:

[Blackshear]

Only put 11,000 since I got my learners, around 6 months ago.

[sunhuntin]

[Howsie]

Yeah another KR150 here, had this one (last one was stolen) a bit over a year to commute on, clocked up more than 29,000k's between it and another bike I was using up in Europe late last year.
Did some long rides in Europe (200-800k's a day for 4 weeks) but have not taken the KR further than Wellington to Marton and back as it's not really comfy for long trips wearing a pack (no panniers).

Great commuter bike though! :yes:

[Dave-]

since the 25th of march 2007 i've done roughly 22,000

[sharknet]

640km per week, since buying my GN250 in Jan 2008 I've clocked up 31,000 k's. (Helensville to Ardmore, 5 times a week...)

[phoenixgtr]

I did 25,000kms on an FXR150 in 18months. Since then I've done about 5,000kms on a 250 bandit and about 19,000kms on my ZX-6R in 2 years.

Ooooh...very close to the 50,000km mark

[modboy]

Riding a vespa px200. Done 30,000k (actually just a couple hundred off). Been on it for nearly 4 years. And the HP will be paid off in August, at which point I will be getting a Triumph Thruxton. Simply cannot wait, been dreaming about it for the last few months.

Done a few trips over the Rimutukas, tell you what the Vespa goes over the hill nicely. Been mostly commuting to work but with the vespa only managing to pull 110k (with tail wind) I'm a bit limited with longer trips.

[Cheshire Cat]

had my bike a month(05 cbr150) had 3021ks when i bought it, now has 4599k :)

[cheshirecat]

from cheshire cat three and a half

about 400 a week. Did over a thousand a week for a few years on my VF500. thank G those days are over.
