    Jeez, that’s a fair old slap – not sure id have the motivation to do that every day. Remember throwing a few sickies when I was going to Cambridge every day and that was "only" a 75 mile round trip.

    Down to 25 each way now which is a doddle if it wasn’t for the obvious. 250 a week, 1000 a month.

    I bought a 11 plate 675 and put 15k on it in 18 month

    I put 6k on my 2013 D675r in 5 months.

    We tend to sell our bikes within a year or two as we put so many miles on them / fancy something new

    Currently got a new Z1000SE which I got in Dec and have done only 100 miles as weather Boltic in Aberdeen.

    Good to see some of these bikes getting used...surprised they're lasting over 100K too!
     
  13. I must be very sad then as my 07 plate has just managed 10k

    This was a popular thread. Thinks it's a tribute to just how strong these engines are and last for to be honest.

    35k isn't too bad just look after her and she will look after you, that's what I say!
