Just wondering how many KM everyone puts on their bikes per year/season?
I just went over 4500km this year so far. Trying to use my bike as much as I can. :p
 
I've had my new bike for 7 weeks now and I'm at 6k. I was hoping to keep it under 10 this year but it's not looking good. In prior seasons I would average 7-9ish. I lived out west then and since we got 10 days of nice weather that's not bad :D
 
It's new and I know a 1000 or 848 is next so I'd like to be able to have the option to sell it with decent km's.
 
i put 33,000km on a ninja 250r from Aug 2010 until April 2012 when I traded it for an SV1000. I forget what exactly I got the SV at (it was high 20s iirc) and it's mid 40s now. I ride a LOT
 
I've been pretty consistent around 20k km a year for the past four years or so, give or take a couple thou. Don't aim for that number, just seems to work out that way every year.
 
5,000km last year (was my first year), and likely between 5,000-10,000 this year (was thinking more, but originally I thought I'd be back out in late March instead of late April).

Part of me thinks the same way, but then I'd never give up a good day of riding simply to keep the km count down. I'd rather use the bike all I can/could and get a little less vs leaving it parked for the sake of resale value. Now if I picked up a classic/show bike, that'd be a completely different story.
 
~10K per season so far. I haven't kept track this year but probably around 2000 kms or so right now. Better reset the trip.
 
I average around 10k, but honestly most of it is commuting, not pleasure riding. I ride to work almost every day in the summer, rain or shine.
 
Im at about 4000km on my klx250 now but have seen a lot of cold and rainy weather. Im sure ill be over 15,000km by the end of the summer.
 
god damn where do you guys find the time? I'm hoping to get maybe 6000 or 7000kms this season but I just got the bike less than 2 weeks ago so I missed a good chunk of the riding season. Even so, I intend to make my bike the daily driver this summer and get lots of riding in. I'm already dreading winter.

Just commuting to and from work for me is 250km a week, add in running errands around town, and I'm at 1500-2000km a month without going anywhere. Local joy rides, I try for a 2k km trip once a month, plus one extended 6-8k km trip adds up.

Helps that my work schedule allows for a three day weekend, every other weekend.
