Well, right now, 8,000 miles in 11 months....though in two weeks, will be more like 13,000 miles in just under a year.

I'd ride to work, but work is next room over from the bedroom...no place to park.

Odometer now is just over 41250 kms since august 2010, apart from a leaking clutchcover and the occasional bad start and only 1 blown bulb its as dependable as a old mule in a western.
Though the camchain tensioner does make a little more racket last months and there is a (resulting from camchainslack?) vibration at 4750 rpm.

Never had a bike with so little needed maintenance, it makes one sloppy even (1250 over the 4th deadline :) ::021::

Before I go for a ride today, it's at 27709. Picked up 2nd week in August. No problems, did the O-ring recall, (mine was fine). No huge trips, or commuting, just going places, sometimes several states away. Had to cancel my AK trip earlier this year. Life got in the way. Ditto for the 10 day endurance rally I was planning on doing in August. Life and a lack of money for gas\hotels/fees! :'( Oh well.

It's fascinating to see what kind of mileages per-month some folks are rolling up. Looks higher to me on average than other brands and models I've seen over the years.

I've got several other bikes for regular riding, but in the months since I got the Super Tenere it has been getting more than the lion's share of the miles.

I really could exist quite happily with just the big Yamaha S-10 and nothing else! ::008::

13,631 miles since I got my Tenere back on June 30. I got a big ride coming up in July like 3,000 miles or so. I'm sure to have over 30,000 miles on it next year.

Just shy of 12k since July 29 2011. Parked from Late October to Late March. Winter was mild, the road salt and stupid people are not, she stays parked. Going riding with my son right after Independence Day. If the fires subside, CO and Pikes Peak, if not, WY and Bear Tooth.

That's exactly what I've been doing. Even if I had another bike right now, it wouldn't get ridden!

Had 4500 mi. on my first S10 (3 mos. old) that got stolen in San Diego on 6/2/12. Just got the replacement (Blue) this weekend. Laboring my way through the break-in procedure again at 150 miles. Pulled an oil sample today and it was alarmingly dirty for these miles/ Will probably do a change at 300 miles including the diffy.

23000 miles in 10 months.
This bike has been great , has not been back to the dealer for anything.
Looks like its a keeper at least for another year or two.
I'll soon be buying the extended warranty for the added benefit at resale time.

Something north of 13k miles. No issues. Had the fuel pump O ring recall done, but no leaks. Bike is roaring to go! Might take it to Atlin, BC today. ::015::

Only 6000 miles in 11 months.

I love this bike, just no time to ride as much as I would like. :(

The poor KLR added less than 300 miles since I purchased the XT.
