Bike with the most miles on it.

Well, it's a similar problem as the speed claims in that there's rarely any accuracy and a lot of "guesstimates" - however I do know there's some "high milers" even if it's jus' logical deduction.

We've a handful of year-round daily drivers: http://motorbicycling.com/f16/commuting-cruising-27937.html - as an example I average roughly 6000 miles a year (GPS, which I don't use in the winter 'cause I like the poor lil thing heh) this being my third year as a constant commuter, the math is pretty easy lol

i can't be 100% sure, as i don't have a speedo, but my main bike's been on the road for over a year, and it's my only form of motorized transpo, and using "logical deduction" like B.A. mentioned above, i'm figuring it's got at least 8000 miles on it, and i just beat the heck out of it at the Death Race, and it's a heavily modified, almost 50mph bike.

The following is me ... being me. I've kinda held off but his seems like a good place.

1st thought .... OMG ... now someone's gonna want PROOF =D . Like baird my mb is right now my only form of motored transport. My first engine HAD TO have given me 2k miles. That's CONSERVATIVE ... i feel good saying yes i got 3k, but No WAY i got near 4 or 5k. This being said I for one am not that mad at "cost/performance/distance" ratio based on my experience.

2nd thought ... what percentage of this perceived lack of durability has to do with the fact folks ARE trying to do 50+ with these things.... how many times you punched it down a hill?? downhill doesn't count?? lose control and i submit its all the same. Me personally i was ... NOT nice to my motor... and it died a death that may have been avoidable had motored a bit more ...ummm ..conservatively. To me 5k seems a reasonable expectation ... if you don't ride like ME.

Last time I talked to hookworm from decatur , he expected to be in the 10-12k range this year. Same bike and motor ,everyday rider, and can tell any problem just by the souund of engine.
It's all in how you ride and your mant. Ethic.
I have one friend who blew up two flying horse motors in one year, and it's deff cuz the way that nuckklehead rides . Way heavy on the oil and ethn. Gas = boom

The bike I am riding at the moment is my OLD one and it has about 5 or 6 K on it and half of it was pulling a LOADED (100+ lbs) trailer didnt realize how down on power it was till I got lapped so many times at DR LOL

i think Dave got a lot (10k+) out of one? i only put 50 miles on mine or thereabout, its still newish

I have 1900 miles on mine, and its pretty nice!
