FJR Mileage Milestones

I finally hit the 150,000 mile mark! A couple of months later than originally expected. Here's hoping it lasts another 150,000!!

The bike was purchased from someone south of the border in 2010 with just over 10,000 miles on the clock.Technically, I have to wait another 10,000 miles before I can claim the 150,000 as all mine...

Peter Behm (Behmer) reached 500K for Club Yamaha.

He only have 237K on one FJR, but spends a lot of time riding his other Yamaha's: 2000 Venture, 2004 FJR ABS, 2007 WR 450, 2007 FZ6, 2012 Tenere, 1986 Fazer, 2001 Zuma. Lets hear it for this magical milestone.

He already holds the .

, and hopefully by the end of the year he will also have the 250K 04 CLUB,

Way to go Pete!!

It should also be recognized that he beat SkooterG to 500K!

I guess Skooter is just spending too much time working now....

I just turned 70,000 miles on my 09 FJR. It is running great. I was recently at the Red Lodge Rendezvous and rode from Seattle to Red Lodge with a fellow forumite who has a '15. Our fuel consumption was within a tenth of a gallon of each other each fuel fill up. It was a toss who used the most fuel. I take that as my old 09 is running just fine. I plan on keeping it for a long time. With every mile the price of ownership per mile continues in my favor.

Took ownership of my FJR on August 12, 2012 with 8667 on the odometer.

This makes 50k miles under my ownership in less than 4 years!

Congratulations, BikerChuck! (Do you ever wash that thing?)

 

[BkerChuck]

Isn't that what rain is for?

Old Yeller was loaded up and hauled away this morning. Upon closer inspection last week I noticed a couple things that caused me a little concern. So it's final odo reading was 223,113 miles. It even tugged at my wife's heart a bit to see her leaving the yard for the final time.

 

[CraigRegs]

Everyone cries when Old Yeller dies.

Sorry to hear it Mike. Hope the replacement brings you just as many smiles and miles.

 

[wheatonFJR]

Those were a good 223113 miles. Didn't owe you anything.

Time to get a Gen 3 to ease the pain.

 

[BkerChuck]

I've yet to put that many miles on ANY vehicle I've owned. Quite impressive!

 

[twistedcricket]

I've been to *FO events, to KY, three times to the west coast.. all original owner miles.

and I read through this thread and realize, I don't need a new one until this one, literally, gives up.

[TripperMike]

That's the attitude twistedcricket! With only 68K, it's finally broken in. But be forewarned, it might be a loooong time before it "gives up".

And although the engine is bullet proof, it is not muffler proof.

 

[hppants]

223K on ANY motorcycle is a dam fine accomplishment, sir.

Well, what's the inside skinny on the next ride? Are you going to buy a bike and paint it yellow or something cool? Or are you going to get one in a cool color from the word go like a 2014 FJR?

 

[101stpathfinder]

Starting over with the '08, reached the bottom rung on the way home from NAFO. (50k)

 

[TripperMike]

^^^ Only 50K? Man, you must not ride much. lol

Lemme know how that feels Tony to have to start over again.

 

[samamoto]

As of today

The baby now has over 75K. It should reach adulthood at double that.
