Highest Mileage RT1200

Post by guest2368 »

I was pondering where I am going with bikes over the next few years and as much as I have had some issues with my bike (none related to reliability, it has been rock solid in that department) it is by far the 'best' bike I have ever owned and I think it is going to be a long term keeper.

So, just for fun, who has the biggest mileage on an RT1200 of any vintage and what bikes have you racked up big miles on.  For the record I put 48 and something thousand miles on an FZ750 Genesis in the 80s/90s.

I'm even less than that, working shifts for most of the past 12 months has limited me to only 7100 miles on my October 2014 bike  :(

So that's when they die then.  Sounds like an acceptable life span.

I previously owned a FJR 1300, if you look at FJFJR Biker forum and FJR owners websites, owners on there have bikes that have clocked up several hundred thousand miles.
