Kinda fake news, as there was already 2k there when I bought it. She's been passed around 😒
 
There's a guy on the FZ/MT 09 forum quickly approaching 300k miles. I don't know how you guys find the time to do that!
Yeah that’s crazy. That’s like going from New York to Los Angeles round trip 50 times. At 50MPH average that’s 6,000 hours. 12 hour days would be 500 straight days.

Well except a few people apparently…
 
Not mine. A 1996 R1100GS from Hank in Texas. Some of you Gspot guys are probably familiar with it . This was several years ago and there's no telling what the miles are now.

Dude is a farrier. Had the bike since 2014 or 2015. Says he takes about a 60 mile each day around lunch time + whatever other riding he uses the bike for. I didn't check his math, but that sounds reasonable.
 
Yeah, these pictures were taken back in May 2020. My bike now has over 129k miles on it. I can't really complain about it at all, I bought it back in Jan 2014 with 13k miles on it and I ride it every day to work, depending on the weather, and it's a 30 mile commute. I just try keep up on the maintenance, oil changes, valve clearances adj., etc.. Back before the covid the local BMW dealer would host Wednesday night dinner rides to some out of the way restaurant about 1-2 hours away, so that helped put the miles on quickly too.
