How many miles do you ride?

[captblack]

35,000 miles - two years next month. No problems, 1 new rear tire at 20K; front tires at 28K. Dealer maintained under a service contract.

I have been taking it a little easy ... 3500 miles on the Vulcan in the last month and only a couple of hundred on the Spyder ...

Mid-October will be 26 months and 30,000 miles on my 2011 RT-S SM5. Rear tires every 9K, several water pump seals and a failed clutch slave cylinder. Ride strictly for pleasure -- don't start it up unless we're going 200 miles.

About 7,000 miles a year, as long a the weather is half desent.

Dam I jealous, Id love to get to ride mine as much as some of riders here. I have not had mine a year yet but should be 5k or less but I only work 1/4 of a mile from my house. :yes:

You get an entire quarter of a mile commute; you're lucky! :thumbup:
My commute is thirty feet... :shocked: pps:

QUOTE: SpyderAnn: "If you are planning on buying a 2014 this info won't be relevant as the engine is different and so is the maintenance schedule".

There are a lot of high milers on here--some with near or over 50K on a specific machine.


When :spyder2: first came out, I put 20,000 miles on mine within the first year.

I traded off the 2008 at 23,500 for a new RT. I currently have 35,000 miles on that one.

The 2009 has 25,000 plus on it, and our new 2011 RT has 9500 in a little over a year.


I have not experienced any major mechanical difficulties in the 93K miles mentioned above on four different :spyder2:'s. Two were first year offerings.

Picked my rs up August 2012 and have put over 19,000 mile on it and have not had any problems. Oil changes every 5000 miles new back tire and spark plugs at 14,000 that's it.....have loved every mile:thumbup:

I appreciate the responses as is typical on boards like this most are quiet unless there is a complaint. I started to be concerned that 10k per year was not practical, but the posts show this is normal for many. Thanks for the posts and keep them coming.:thumbup:

29,000 on my '09 GS in 3 years with very little downtime.
5,000 on my 2013 ST and it's been in the shop more than out. I am hopeful they get the 2013's straightened out soon.

My wife's 2009GS has about 22,000 on it now (3 years) and very little downtime.
