6,000km in six months?

[Genie]

One of my friends imported a brand new Ninja 250R from Japan around 2 years ago and he's only ridden 300kms on it. Waste of a perfectly good bike :[

Seriously....that has to be a brokage of the bike riders commandments. I'm apalled, is the guy mentally challenged.

(shaking my head in bewilderment)

As single dad with 3 boys still at home fulltime I can only take off properly when they are with their mum every second w/e. I don't use bike for work daily, but always ride to conferences and meetings around the country instead of flying, rain or shine. (Came back today from Welly from one)

Picked up the K1 2 weeks ago and now done a little over 3,000k's on it. The old road bike, a K100, got similar use. Apart from the occasional blast on the local roads when my boys are with friends and I can squeeze in a few hours of riding, she was used on the w/e's my ex has the boys. Those w/e's I will take off after I drop the boys at her place on Friday just after 7pm, and be home 7pm on Sunday when she drops them back. Just go where ever the road takes me. Normally cover anything from approx 800k's to 2,500k's in those w/e's.

Then there is a few dirt bikes that get used on the beach and in the dirt when I get withdraw sympthoms.

Oh no! A 'mines bigger than yours' thread.

I do a minimum of 70km per day as I work quite far out of town so I do at least 350km per week, bought my SV in November last year and it had about 56,000 ks on the clock at the time, closer to 75,000 ks now.

I don't own a car so the bike is my only transport. Couple of long trips (to Wellington and back etc) throughout that time and a trackday in April.

What you are doing sounds fine to me.

Hmmm 551km/day for 7 weeks. When did you find time to do the two valve check services

While the bike is in storage at the bike shop and I am over here working...

Mrs H and I average 30,000km a year, all recreational.

[Old Steve]

Got my learners license early February, got the bike late February. Sitting my 6R thursday this week (yeah, forecast is for it to be persisting down!).

Clicked over 6800 km today on the way back from Arapuni.

I commute about 15 km/day as often as I can, I figure I've got to get experience in all sorts of weather, and usually take a ride with the Ulysees Club on Sunday.
