I bought my Monster on 20th November 2010. Since then I have done 4250 miles on it. Considering that I have never ridden it when it has been icy and I've only done a few hundred miles of commuting on it I am feeling fairly pleased with myself about my Monster usage so far (couldn't find a smug smiley to put here ;) ).

What sort of mileage do the rest of you do?

2200 miles on trike in two weeks - Rode to Misano in June for WDW 2010. Not had much use since but I average about 4-5000 miles a year. After I got the Buell in February the trike has had little use other than riding to get it's MOT.

A total of 11000 miles were done last year spread over 3 bikes, 5000 of them on a Monster though.
The same Monster has only done 800 this year so far. I must get it out again, oh look the suns out and i'm working from home. :thumbsup:

6.,500 in the last 9 months since buying the 796.

About 1000 of them are from overshooting due to no front brakes :chuckle:

approx 180 miles so far this year. Mot and one curtailed run.
It got new tyres a month ago and the labels are still on the treads...
... and not much sign of use in the foreseeable future either.

About 8K on the thou in the last year and another 2K+ on the 620 before 'Borat' drove over me and wrote it off in November, leading to me not riding for 4 months.

In the last year, nearly 10K.
But that did include WDW2010. I expect to do a similar amount of mileage this year without going to Italy.

12000ish in the last year and a half. Mostly just commuting unfortunately, although there are a few fun ways to get back when visiting the parents :)

Mine now has 1833 on the clock, all but 8 of those down to me since it was registered on 1st March. With my new termi's I expect this to shoot up - making noise is addictive eh?:cool:

I hope to have a bit more time next summer and shall get some UKMOC meets firmly planted in the diary. A trip to IOM could be on the cards too and some european trips would be cool, perhaps a trip back to the bikes country of origin - Bologne via lake garda etc...anyone been?

Bought my replacement Monster in July last year and have since put 3,896 miles since then. Couldn't ride it much when I first got it as was still a bit sore after crashing my previous one on the way to WDW 2010. Didn't really start riding it properly until Spring this year but love it to bits and will continue to commute daily (only time I arrive at work with a smile) :spin:

None yet, I've been busy fettling the Ugly Duckling 900 GTS bevel. Done 150 miles in the last two days on that and can now get on with servicing/MOT the Monnie.

Cheers
