Highest Mile Duki around? per year?

[redxblack]

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.

[The Bacon Junkie]

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!

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...        [moto]

[ROBsS4R]

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 

99 M750 200000km's/125000 miles. Probably more by now. 

I 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.

07' 695 bought in June 07 I now have 13k [moto]

[bigiain]

Bigian has a lot, but as far as I know Phil's is the highest I've seen.

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.

[hooksem]

5,200 on my 08 1098 with many more to come.  I have had it for 4 months.

07 S2R 1000 that I purchased on July 15th (with 143 miles).  I am going to hit 3k miles tomorrow morning.  :-)  I love it!

Are you still running the original engine?

[bigiain]

Are you still running the original engine?

It's had new crank bearings and rings, but everything else is original...
