    Miles per year?

    I'm curious about how many miles you have ridden this year. If you are still riding, you can extrapolate for November and December. Track miles count too.

    Street miles about 5000. Track/race miles, not nearly enough. (no odometer on the SV)

    Re: Miles per year?

    Last year: 12, 000 street miles, 1 track day.
    This year: 4,000 street miles, 13 track days and 2 race weekends.

    Hmmm, I see a trend...
    But the year ain't over till January!

    Re: Miles per year?

    Last year was about 20,000 miles. Should be close this year; slightly less because I've been doing shorter rides the past month and a half due to a broken wrist.

    Re: Miles per year?

    Surprisingly, I figured about 1542 miles this year at Loudon. 96 practice laps, 96 laps running GTL, 16 warmup and cool down laps, and about 756 trackday laps times 1.6 miles.

    Not sure how many laps I did at VIR, but I thought my total mileage would have been higher.

    Re: Miles per year?

    This will be my lowest year in a while. I've only done about 2k this year. So sad.

    With the FZ1 coming I'm hoping to ride A LOT more next year.

    Low mileage year for me too, close to 12,000. I should get another thousand or so by 12/31.

    Re: Miles per year?

    6K, about 1,000 of those on track, plus lots of dirt miles, which are kinda like dog years. Despite the low total, I actually think I rode a lot this year. I certainly learned a lot...

    Re: Miles per year?

    sheesh...is there a sub 1000 mile club penalty somewhere?

    I didn't go on any group rides, only rode it on few couple nice days if I was running early in the morning, a couple 20 minute 2-up rides, commute to boston, and then to the gas station.

    Rode the dirt bikes more frequently, but hardly racked up any mileage on those.

    Re: Miles per year?

    I'm not entirely sure on my miles, since I rode my SV for awhile post-crash when it had no odometer, and my XT350's odometer doesn't work, but I would have to estimate anywhere from 7,500 to 10,000 miles this season (since I'm still riding that 10,000 would be a projected amount).

    Note that at 6,000+ miles, I still ride 1/3rd to 1/4 what the other V-Strom owners ride. In addition to RandyO and Markbvt, Graftyman went to Alaska and Newfoundland, and Black Lab has 84,000 on a 2007. While I commute....It's giving me a complex.

    Still riding ... but only started riding at the beginning of august.

    Ive done 1,600 miles in that time... so roughly 533 mile per month, which over 1 year would be 6400

    Hard to keep track when you ride 4 different bikes, two of them with no odometer.

    Re: Miles per year?

    I rode a little over 11k this year.
    200-300 on the weekend trips
    85 a day round trip commute during the summer
    all street miles
    I should hit the 12k mark before the salt goes on the road.

    One race weekend, two track days (well really one day and two sessions) and about two hour long rides on the street bike. Thanks for reminding me though.
