    I put close t0 10K on my CBR between the time I bought is and 1 year later. Why buy it if you don't ride it?

    I can see if you have more than one bike...

    AMEN! I put 10k on mine since last year. These bikes are too much fun not to ride them every possible second you can!

    My bike only has a couple hundred on it this year thanks to Loudon, school and that fucking screw in my tire. She's lonely.
    She DOES however have 12000 and its an 04, but I need to get more on this summer

    That's plenty of miles to ride to the local starbucks and talk about how cool your bike is.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    guys who need a ducati statue in their garage for status but don't have enough confidence in their riding ability to ride it often (or are worried about depreciation).

    just speaking from one ss owner i knew.

    the average rider only puts on about 4000/year

    if I put 30,000 miles on in a year, several riders have to ride just a few miles to get that to average @ 4000

    there are more riders that ride less than 4000/year that there are that ride more

    My Duc hasn't even gone through a tank of gas yet this year... but that's because I've been waiting on parts for it all year.

    I've been to MotoMarket for the Euro nights and my impression was that most who show up actually are enthusiasts, and not so many posers. There are a few that show up, but for the most part I think most actually do a significant amount of riding.
