Popular Post fastfredyb Posted May 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2018 I have hit the 78,000 mile mark and the bike is still running strong. Oil+ filter change every 5k.

gregjet Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 WOW!!!!!!!! That there is mileage. I am guessing you are the benchmark for wear items on the bike. Tell us what you have HAD to fix/replace and when if possible. You have just officially become a data resource. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify...

Bigturbomax Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Wow, this is awesome in so many ways. Im excited to see someone hit 100k. Sounds like itll be in no time with that commute. And i agree with gregjet. Your bike may be the benchmark for longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_ak_ranger Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 That’s about $4,500 dollars of gas at 50ish mpg. While my lifted jeep would be $15,500 for the same haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Wow! That's a lot of saddle time in 2 (?) years. explains why you haven't posted much - too busy riding. The shock was sad when it was new. Hard to imagine it has any hydraulics left after that many miles. There was a guy on the Aprilia forum who put 150k on a Futura in Arizona doing daily long commutes like that. Modern motors are wonderful things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually tried to guess California gas prices without googling so I assumed $3/gal ($.79/liter) but here in Texas it gets as low as $2.20/gal($.58/liter) At the moment gas is pretty expensive (for us) cause of summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grip it & Rip it Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 awesome. a lot of gas stations here in sf are going over the 4 dollar mark, which is insane. how much is your gas faffi? I’m too lazy to do the math Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffi Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 List price for a litre is just above 2 dollars, or almost 8 dollars for a gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevils1990 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 That's amazing, assuming you've owned it for 3 years that's roughly 71 miles per day every day for 3 years. You've got my average of about 40 miles per day for the last almost 7 months beat a tad. I just got to ~8,180 miles after having the bike since 2 November 2017. 1 2003 Buell XB9R (2011-2011) Crashed 2009 Buell 1125CR (2011-2013) Sold 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 (2014-?)

AlbatrossCafe Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Dang. I was trying to be the high-mileage guy, but it is hard to beat 120 miles per day. I'm only about 50. I'm at 26k.
