How many miles

[BeePee]

What model Monster have you got and how many miles has it done, what's the known record for the highest ?
I just met one of the guys from Ducati Up North who was visiting a friend of ours. His Monster 800 has done 88,000 miles !

My 1100s has done 1900 :)

[steeevvvooo]

S2r 1000, 14k miles, never missed a beat (touch wood)

[d8mok]

My M1100s has 3200 miles in total. 1700 by me so far this year.

[jamiedan2009]

2000 M900Sie, just under 22000, last 6000 done by me (had it a year), love it!

[Qba]

My S2R 800 (06) has done 24000 miles and growing quite rapidly.
By the end of this year it will have 27000. Didn't experience any problems so far, but it's approaching its middle age I guess. Was thinking how much more I can put on it without rebuilding the engine...

[Pedro]

My 900 has 37000+ and I've not used it for five years. My 1000ds has 15500 miles

My 99 600 has done about 22,000 I had 6hr 30 on it today.
I did near 300 miles in gusts and torrential rain today :) and was happy even though my ruddy Oxford heated grips control broke :( it will light up to 30 % and warm to that but no further .. Cross as they are not cheap.
Still got to fix fuel sensor :(

My evo is 11 months old and it's got ~4500 miles on the clock. Not missed a beat so far.

[He11cat]

I'd love to know who has a high milage one :)
My little CG 125 has done 81 thousand miles not bad for a little Diddy bike :)

[jamiedan2009]

I think my 1991 MZ ETZ 125 has been round the clock several times lol

[Zak]

My 2000 m750 has done 10k.

[benson]

2002 M900ie has done about 18k on these clocks and about 8k on the previous ones so I guess that makes 26k.....

[northantsrich]

94 M600 with 29k

[He11cat]

My MZ ETZ must have been well bad .... I brought it for a hack to work.
It did not even get 50miles before it died a death :(
I brought it as bomb proof I think this one had been nuked it was bad!!!
I sent it back to the seller by AA ....who took I think 6 hours first sent the wrong "van" then had to get a recovery truck .... before they decided it was dead as a ...
The owner got it started and said come back and it will be fine but I said if that can't get me 50 miles home no way will it get me to work every day!!

[utopia]

yr 2000 M750 (first reg in 2001).
!2000 miles, mostly by me.

[Nottsbiker]

My Monster did 12,000 miles before snapping a cylinder stud on its way to the second to last owners home (maiden voyage). Its subsequently done more miles in the boot of my car (6) over the intervening 4 years.....

[Musty]

My 2010 696 has nearly 3000 miles on it, 2500 of those done by me in the last 11 months.

[gary tompkins]

I've got two 900ie's - both done over 25,000 miles each

[Funkatronic]

2006 s2r 800 21000k still going very strong, standard servcing only

[Blah blah]

My new 1997 900 has got 13000

[cactus]

My 2001 M900ie has just turned over 32,000 miles, and the motor still looking ok.

[Grumpy]

Wait for Ladybird to come along....her bike has done over 40k !

[Headhunter]

63,456 but as of last Saturday now has a very low 14 miles :cool: New clocks.

7 years of daily commuting, tours of Europe and does not include airmiles.

[slob]

2002 M620ie (written off by blind BMW driver in late 2010) @37.5K (was still going strong and is in my garage waiting to be resurrected)
2003 M1000Sie trackbike @ 15.5k and counting
2003 M1000Sie roadbike @ 43.5k and counting

[sapone cremoso]

I'm selling my 07 s2r (pictured) with 43 thousand on her (all by me). Parkinson motorcycles are trying at the moment but will get her back and do a deal if anyone fancy's trying to beat the record.....

[NewMon]

2001 M600. 20,426 miles. "A happy Ducati is a used Ducati"

[He11cat]

The above is true!!! It's when they don't get used they throw hissys!

[FLATTOP]

My M900 1998 a meagre 2050 genuine miles but i have owned many a CX500 Honda that have done well over 200,000 miles when i was a courier:biggrin:

[scrapps]

I will add my 900ie to the list with its 33k and still going strong.

[He11cat]

M400 has done 22,000

[neilo]

Is this really true? How come?

I mean I can definitely say that my bike's better for being 'used well' on a regular basis... Is it all to do with keeping all the moving parts moving/lubricated by use, and not allowing the contacts time to lose contact?

this bothers me :dizzy: as I'm about to collect a 2005 S4r with only 2k miles on the clock, hope it doesn't fall into the "hissy throwing" category of bikes

[Capo]

Just clicked over to 10,000 (in 8 years)

[utopia]

Most bikes don't enjoy being unused.
I'd say that the only extra factor with a Ducati is the belts sitting in the same position for ages.
But you'd change those anyway.

2001 M600. 20,426 miles. "A happy Ducati is a used Ducati"

Very true, mine's a 2001 M600 as well, just sneaked past 21k the weekend. :)

You'll be OK, such comments are applicable when not maintained correctly.

Mine sat for 8 months, I was wanting it to crank to prime the oil circuit but it fired instantly on the first compression stroke.

My 94 900 has about 110 thousand on it. By the time it was round the clock the gearbox in particular was getting a bit noisy so treated it to a Baines Racing engine rebuild. Just back on the road and after some fine tuning of the Flatslides by Dynotech in Glasgow, it is back to its old fantastic self!
Unfortunately the three year old tyres don't seem to offer much grip - they are probably so hard they will never wear out!
