What do you consider high mileage (kilometerage)? I put almost 300,000 km on my '07 in the nine years I owned it and sold it still in great running condition with very little in the way of anything but normal maintenance. Never even wore out a clutch and engine was never touched other than to check and adjust valve clearance a few times. (I expect it is still on the road three years later.) Only 150,000 km on my 2011 but I just got it three and a half years ago (with 55,000 km).
Very impressive. That means you covered about 90km day for the 9 yrs you had your '07, and are currently accumulating approx 85km/day based on the time you've had your '11 (ballpark numbers here). That's some serious riding lol. Still, you'd have to consider how the km's accumulate and what bike you're riding to subjectively arrive at what one might think is high mileage. I'm thinking that FJR's make those kilometers seem not as many while you're in the saddle, while other bikes might feel like you just finished the ride from hell. Sweet.
Will follow up with more pics. The one you see in the profile was just taken when I picked it up.
Averages are funny - the majority of the kilometers are probably piled up during trips. Successive 1000 kilometer days add up quickly. Not much in the way of trips this year other than 7,000 km to Winnipeg and back to visit my daughter (six riding days and a five day visit). Another 5000 or so in local day rides. I usually do more but have had other stuff going on. I used to go to New England a few times per year for riding and camping in VT and NH but haven't been there since the start of Covid - next year! I have done as much as 50,000 in one riding season - April to early December. The rate will decrease - I just bought a 2017 BMW F700GS for some dirt road riding capability and saddle time will be split between the two bikes. Not getting any younger either.
