Bike mileage POLL

[RedBaron]

This should be interesting. I got the idea after looking on the New Zealand trading site, www.trademe.co.nz, and saw a single XZ550 for sale with almost 80,000 on the odometer and thought that was brilliant. If you sold your bike please use the mileage/kilometerage you recall.

Thanks,
RB

Woops, I just put 80-100 and then realised you probably mean miles.  Who would invent a measure that is 1,609.344 rather than a nice round number like 1000? Crazy bloody foreigners

In another year I'll jump a bracket to 50k+... :-)

I don't remember since I had to swap out my gauge cluster :/ but I don't think it was a lot  :)

[George R. Young]

Sold mine after 20 years and 106,000 km (that's about 60,000 miles for those not in the Great White North). Another unit of distance covered on a Vision is stators, it was on its fourth stator.

Not exactly a classic bell curve is it.... :)  :D

[Night Vision]

I voted twice to smooth the curve

31k= for me and ~28k for my brother

I would vote twice but the other voice in my head doesn't have a motorcycle license.

My original gauge cluster had 5800 miles on it before I swapped it out for the digital one which now has 3085 on it so I'm still less than 9000 miles.  Damn, I need to ride more....

;D

Mine should have been at about 50000 had it not taken a nine year rest! In the low 40's  now.

 :) 'The Mistress' has over 50,000 miles on her frame!!! However, she has a ton of up-grades done to her. I also refitted her with an '83 motor a few months ago with less than 2,000 miles on it!!! She runs like a dream... 8)

    1996-          T/C red/white  104,437 klms & counting (no stators)
                      Yellow/Red 83  48,135 klms  (no stators in last 24,000klms=before unknown)
  - present        Blue/white 83    32,890 klms (stators unknown)

This thread is really interesting.  As with baseball etc. statistics, one can see patterns emerge from the numbers.  It is heartening to see the potential longevity of the XZ and that there are proportionally so many with pretty low miles out there.  I know this is a sampling within our immediate group but by extrapolating our numbers a bit hints there are a lot of miles left in the XZ model.  Just keep poking about and eyes open, every body needs another parts bike or project.

i am getting close to 40k miles...so those outside of the U.S. guess you need to do a conversion...ha... ;D...and still with original stator

Oh dear, Jason is catching up  :o ;D

It's been looking like 2 bell curves... :)    very interesting results!

[Rick G]

I've had so many speedos on it , there's no way to tell probably around 50,000 miles.

Perhaps this reflects two populations: The higher mileage bikes that were bought new and run  for years and the lessor mileage bikes parked for some time with low miles and then purchased second hand with these always being the larger population as the older bikes eventually wear out and drop out of that second population.

 :) To convert miles to kilometers, multiply by 1.6...e.g. 40,000 miles x 1.6 = 64,000klm's ;)

To convert kilometers to miles, divide by 1.6...e.g. 104,437 klms :- 1.6 = 65,273mls  ;)

This is not 100% accurate...but is near enough!!! ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D... 8)
