26K on my 2007 Black cherry

:yahoo:

Actually 26,200 (before my ride home tonight) but who's counting...

Bought in April 2007 so have had the bike 1 1/2 years. Commute 120 miles round trip 9 months of the year here in NJ. My average speed for the trip most days, including some Holland Tunnel traffic at night leaving Manhattan is probably 65mph so most times i'm running 85+. There's nothing like 40 minutes of 85 to 95 mph wind to soothe the mind.

I'm getting a new job only 20 miles from home in another week so some of the fun is going to end for now. I'll probably start riding on weekends again! Now i just leave it in the garage Fri night to Mon am...

Maybe, maybe after riding these shorter more country-road commutes, i'll want a lighter twin cyclinder bike but for what i've been doing, high speed slab, the FeeJeR has been just the best.

Time soon to leave in the shop for the valve check and TBS i guess...

Cheers all.

I'm on the other side, I only ride on some weekends. 36,000 in 25 months. I have such a hard time getting any kind of milage out of tires (6th set this year) that I dont commute or do afternoon jaunts. Those twisty roads in Arkansas and MO. are sure rough on tires!

Where is Jeff Ashe? He has an 07 & I believe that he's getting really close mileage-wise to my '04. I have 59,000 on mine. I think that he just turned 50,000 not long ago.

Sounds like me. I've got 28,000 on my 07, which I got in April 07. I just had the service and all valves were in spec. I commute 70 miles/day, partly twisties and part slab. The only problems I've had are the ECU (changed out by the dealer) and a loose steering head at 25,000 - had it repacked and tightened up and its fine.
