Since getting my first bike in '05 (a Suzuki Burgman 650), I've generally ridden the bike if I had to go anywhere. Working at home for the last few years until this past summer meant no commute - only trips to meetings and such. Changing jobs to where I had to go to the office everyday meant a regular commute on the FJR everyday, plus heading out to any meetings I might have had with clients or whatever.
My cage is a 2006 Saturn Ion Redline, I bought it new in 2006 and the odometer just clicked over 40000 kms last month. That's around 8000 per year in a part of the world where the roads can be iced from late-November to mid-March.
Both my wife and I use the bikes for commuting any chance we get.
