This should be amusing ..... lets see who has the highest mile duc arourd, all should post - year and milage would be intresting.... post away ducatists ...and the most miles per year of bike
Year, make and miles (if in km please convert 1.6 km to a mile).
03 - 800 - total 23K miles average = 4,600 miles per year .... [moto]
Just to start, all should post and I'm sure theres much higher around .... next.
I think PhilB who can be found at another forum wins.
He's at 155,000+ on a '93 Monster.
Where's bigiain when you need him?

Yup, Phil's beloved is now over 156,000.
Bigian has a lot, but as far as I know Phil's is the highest I've seen. Of course our little web community is a small fraction of the ducati riders worldwide.
'03 620 (bought new) 62,000 miles = 99,779328 km
I was on the "PhilB track" getting around 55,000 in 3 years.
Wow. People do a double take when I tell 'em I've got 30,000 on my '99 M750. I hope to see mileage like this thread is showing!

Wow, that is amazing. Any rebuild needed???
I average about 3000 to 5000 miles a year, depending on weather.
49K miles on my '01.
I have 36k on my 05 620 I got it with 1k on it mid 06, so I'm doing like 12k+ ish a year.
'07 695, purchased in summer of '06 = 24k miles. I'm doing about 9k miles a year after this year is over.
5,200 on my 08 1098 with many more to come. I have had it for 4 months.
Just turned 33,000 last night on my 97 M900 while riding home from work in the rain. [thumbsup]

What has worn out and been replaced with that sort of milage? What sort of servicing has been all important?
04" S4R bought new in August '06 with 8 miles on it.
Currently over 28k on it-so 14k or so a year.

05 S2R, coming up on 30,000 miles (so I am just under 10k/yr)
Add to that multiple bikes with @ 5-6k/year
AND
3-4 MONTHS OF COLD & SNOWY WINTERS.
I was averaging a little over 10,000 a year on my 2007 M695 until I got hit. I have 2007 Multistrada that I bought in August and am averaging over 1000 miles a month on it. I'd hate to see the miles some folks would rack up if they had a Multi or an ST.
18,300 after 17 months on an '07 695
Close to 13k/year

Better to be a duck than #2, but then that's just my opinion. ;D
6 months - 10,200
If we had year round riding conditions here in Norway I would beat you all [evil] I think I need the winter to get my friends back, been neglecting them to ride, mod and BS here [thumbsup]
32000 miles on my '05 (plus 46000 on my '04 Bandit).
I'm gettin' close to 52,000 on my '94. Bought it with about 18K on it, five years ago, and I've been riding it solidly for about four years now. I'd looooove to hit 100K on it, but think that the parts for it will be extinct by the time I do. [laugh]
02 M750 = 21,000 on it right now, but it had been sitting in a garage for the last 2 years. my brother (userid: 13) racked almost all of them up in a short period before leaving the country. maybe he can chime in on his averages.

I picked up my '99 M750 a year ago with 23k and change. Now at 33k... almost 10,000 miles in a year and a few months... [evil] ;D [moto]
I am averaging about 15k a year right now.
I'm gonna have to come in here for bigiain, he's taking his time posting in this thread [roll]
99 M750 200000km's/125000 miles. Probably more by now. ;)
QuoteI pretty much always get ~20,000km out of a front, so ~10 of them.
I used to use MEZ3's and only get ~7000 out of a rear, I switched to harder Bridgestones a few years back and now get ~20,000km out of a BT020, so maybe 12 or 14 rears.
I get ~40,000km from a chain on new sprockets and ~30,000 on old sprockets, so say 6 chains and 4 sprocket changes.
Rear brakes last me forever (I put my second replacement set in a few weeks back, ~100,000km per set). Fronts last ~40,000, so 5 sets there.
Oil every 5,000km, so 40 oil changes (mostly but not always including filters, only once have I ever changed crush washers).
It's never had a "rebuild" as such, it came apart at ~75000 km for a failing crank main bearing, and got put back together with new crank bearings and piston rings, and a few new seals and orings, but the big ends, little ends, and cylinder heads have never been apart, and the gearbox is running the original bearings.
Other replacement things, it's on it's 3rd main relay, 2nd starter relay, 3rd set of wheel bearings, the rear brake master has been replaced, the clutch master has had a seal kit put in, the clutch slave had 2 new OEM seals then a Yoyodyne replacement piston with orings, the crankcase breather has been replaced when it started leaking, a chain adjuster bolt got replaced when it came loose and damaged itself against the sprocket, the shock got rebuilt at ~160,000km when it dumped all its oil over the rear tire, the forks have had new oil 3 or 4 times but no new seals or slider bushes.

I guess my record Ducati is my old Black and Gold Bev. Drv. 900ss - put 130,000 mi. on it. It's resting now as it is worn slap out. After the ss got parked I rode the old Norton 850 until I got my old 04 S4R - a little over 100,000 mi. on the Norton. The Norton never missed a beat and will start right up now. Don't know how they got a rep for unreliability.

All of my bikes, other than my Harley, are pleasure vehicles, so they are only ridden on the weekends or whenever the mood strikes me. It's nice having multiple bikes that are tagged and roadworthy because I've been averaging about 20k miles a year for the last four years and have averaged around 10k per year since 1993. Here is the data on the two Ducs that I bought new and then the others since buying them for my wife and me:
1) 1998 ST2 - 38k miles (bought in 2000, so around 4750 mi/yr since purchase)
2) 2002 748 - 18k miles (bought in 2003, so around 3000 mi/yr since purchase)
3) 2001 M900ie - 1k miles since May (bought in May of this year (bike has 12k miles on it)
4) 1998 ST2 - 1k miles since June (bought in late May of this year (bike has 23k miles)
5) 1987 Paso 750 - 1k miles since getting it on the road in May of this year (bike has 30k miles)
The Harley is mainly a commuter. It has 102k miles on it (bought with 16k in '93), so it is averaging close to 6k miles a year with a low of only 800 miles in a year and a high around 22k miles in a single year.

Yeah, PhilB's still beating me, I'm on 213,000km (~133k miles) now - it's a '99 M750 that I've owned since new (I rode it out of the dealership on 2 Dec '99 - it'll be 10 years in a few months...)
big (and in that same time I've done almost the same distance on my Honda Spada(s)...)
07 695 13,247 total I got it on the road from previous owner in early june 08 with 9,400 on the clock. So I've done about 4k over the summer.

Change the oil and adjust the valves.
Quote from: Rameses on September 29, 2008, 08:17:53 PM
Change the oil and adjust the valves.
+1I'm pretty confident that fresh oil every 5000km (~3k miles) has helped greatly in keeping my bike alive.
I also thing using it regularly helps a lot too - I hear more reports of a certain class of problems from people who have to "winter" their bikes - pretty much the longest mine ever goes without being ridden is the 3 weeks I spend away each year - apart from that it rarely goes even 3 or 4 days without getting a run.

Weird-my buddies '05 620 managed about 43k before we had to rebuild the top end (valve guides), and he did all the maintenance as it should've been done.

I wonder if that's cause the 620s have a much revvier motor than my old 750?

Most likely. That and a large amount of the mileage was highway, so it was routinely held at high revs.
Or, we're looking at the statistical distribution of engine longevity. Some motors last forever, some crap out nice and early.

Swap the sprockets.
Bought a 2009 696 on July 22nd. October 1st I had 6450 miles.
