It's hard to tell now without the regular recording of mileage for the MOT, But I'd also reckon on around 3000miles between both bikes.

The little one finally passed the 50,000 mark in August.

One of the lowest for me as only rode on 3 occasions!! :shock:
20 miles day before NW rally on the 72 Z1 then what ever we did at the rally on Friday night and Saturday ride out?
120 to 150 miles ish in total?
Rode to the TT for 8 days on the 72 Z1 600 ish miles total
Did the Manx on the H2A, 20 miles when it arrived in the morning I was going, then 400ish miles at the Manx

Puppy training and the major house alterations took up the rest of my year.
So 1100 to 1200 miles on just two bikes...........

I did 1100 miles on the KH500 miles at the Moto Piston rally, and a few hundred miles on my RD350. Sold my MT09 a few months ago, because it had done 60 miles since last years MOT.

Every year I keep saying, I need to do more riding this year!

About 65 miles. Around 40 on the ZZR11 for it's MOT and one ride out on the S2 of around 25 miles. Must get more motivated this year.

Hi everyone
Did about 740 mls on the KH400, about 350 on the VFR400 & roughly 6450 on my Z1000SX, suffer any long distance on the KH due to only getting 65 to 70 mile out of the tank & when she hit reserve im lucky if I get 10 mile, only ran out once and fortunatly there was a garage I was going to about 1/2 mile up the road so it was a short push :lol:

ALL TH EBEST FOR 2025

I would suggest that your bike needs setting up properly, that economy is appalling

I think you mean better combustion as you really don’t want any detonation!

Well I can safely say that last year was my fewest miles on a motorcycle since I past my car test at 33.
I'm determined not to let that happen this year, with one Bike Rally under my belt already this year, ( the minus 2 Stroke Rally) I'm off to a good start Thumbs Up
