Who has the most miles on a F6B ?

[Phantom]

:icon_cool::yes:

GLRyder98 had the highest mileage F6B at the 2014 Rally, I believe he had 26,000+ miles

Any other long distance riders?

I just passed 32,000

Put in service Late August 2013. I would have more miles on the F6B but I have the great fortune to ride bikes for work, mostly Indians! We like to put at least 500 miles and do the first service on new bikes before we put them into the rental fleet. I know....I have a terrible job.

[bob109]

As of this afternoon 27,240 miles with 26,000 of those miles on the Dark Side:stirthepot:

Took delivery of my F6B in April 2013 and been smiling ever since:icon_biggrin:

As of last night I have 27500 smiles
Took delivery in March of 2013. Had to take 5 weeks off
For a minor surgery. Still loving it.

[tinknocker]

I've clocked 67 on mine so far

[1BADF6B]

Picked mine up on June 6 2014 and due to an injury put the cover on it September 22 with 5700. I was riding almost 2k a month. Then the lovely NY winter. All fixed up last thursday and should be ready to ride this spring. Come on warm weather.

[F6BPDX]

Picked mine up in October of 2013 and just clicked over 24,300 tonight as I pulled in the garage.

[glryder98]

Hiya Folks! 36,245 miles and leavin for Daytona on Monday. Hope to see everyone at dinner on Friday. Phantom will you be there? Any T-shirts left?

I have slacked off the last couple of months traveling to visit family and leaving my F6B to wonder what happened. I am stuck at a little over 25000 miles in two years.

[ghostrider]

I have a little over 23000 miles on my bike in two years. And I still get excited about riding this bike.

I just installed a Show Chrome drivers backrest on it this weekend and love it. Does this officialy make it an old man's bike? I plan on buying a Bushtec trailer soon so I needed a backrest to replace the support of the bags behind my I won't have to carry anymore. :icon_razz:

OK Phantom. Maybe I'll see you in Panama city beach for thunder Beach. at the end of April

[Elin in So. Cal.]

I think it would be more relevant to ask what's your average mileage per month. That evens the playing field for all of us who ride, and more importantly, how LONG we've had the bikes.

For example, if I have my bike for 12 months and have 12,000 miles, I average 1,000 miles a month.

If I bought my bike new, and immediately went on a long road trip, I may only have 8,000 miles, but that averages 4,000 miles per MONTH.

See my point?

So, me, I've had the Dragon Queen for 29 months. I have 32,000 miles on her.
That means I average 1,103 miles per MONTH. Still not gonna touch the guy who rides 4,000 miles per month, but you get my drift.

High mileage is one thing, but since we now have three years' worth of bikes, it becomes a moot point.
Now the retired teacher will go sit down and wait for any backlash from those who didn't pass math class. :th_sunbathe:

[ths61]

Just coming up on 1 year and 20,000 miles (@ 1,700 miles/month).

[Elin in So. Cal.]

Just coming up on 1 year and 20,000 miles.

1,800 miles per month. Not too shabby!!

[wjduke]

I can't wait to kill it this season and see what my average is. Since I had it to date through the winter, I'm at 860/month, and that looks like crap. It's actually a good number for us northerners.

Except now the Northerners who (for some unexplained reason) seem to enjoy several months without riding, are going to ask that we "normalize" their months to a riding season. I.e. the Michigan peeps are are going to not have to count Nov-Apr as "months of ownership" for averaging purposes....

I think your middle name is 'stir-the-pot'. It ain't gonna matter anyway cause in another year Teach will be over 100,000. She rides like 600 miles a day. Wonder who grades all her papers? Only time she stops is to go in that place where the Marines are. If she would hold still for a minute she might catch one.

Wish I could put in more miles but here in Northern Nevada it gets a little icy in the winter and I have other hobbies that take some time.When the wife is able to retire in 5 years we will be AZ bound for year round riding.

Well let's see. I just love these mileage things. I have 57,464 miles. I bought it in 2013 , that's 36 months. So I average about 1,596 a month.

[RAW DOG F6B]

got my F6B in march 2015 it had 30 miles on it it now has over 21k

[Patch]

Got my 2013 D at the tail end of Feb 2016. It came with 12,105 miles on it...now it has 19672, 7567 in two months and a few days...calling it 3570 per month thus far. Did a little math, my work week riding puts on approx 750 miles a month, the rest is all weekend runs. Saturdays see 6 to 10 hours in the seat, Sundays run 3 to 6 hours, more if I'm off on Monday. Last Saturdays trip to the "Three Sisters" down by Leakey, Texas was the longest day trip I've made, ended up being 682 miles over 13 hours. Even got tagged by txmotofoto on 337 on my way in to town. I doubt it'll get much higher than this per month for my riding though.

Tagged riding Tx 337 on the way in to Leakey 04-23.

Some of you are crazy with the miles. 2015 was my best riding season so far in a short career of motorcycling.

6,800 miles from 4/2/15 - 12/24/15. That's about 800 miles per month. I thought that was a lot. I do put another 2500 miles or so on my snowmobiles most winters (not 15-16). I have about 550 miles so far this year.

60,004 miles over the span of 21 months.

Info from a FullWing site.


"I just wanted to update you on Phil's 02 Goldwing. He was leaving for Ohio yesterday after the Geezer ride to pick up his 2015 Wing. He is not trading in his 02 but it will be on display at the dealership where he is buying his new one. His odometer read 538,502 miles when we stopped for break on our way to Crystal River.

Just to update those interested in keeping up with Phil's mileage. Here is a picture I took of the odometer on his 2015 bike Tuesday October 13th.
https://goo.gl/photos/7YVj9yAmKuPCsAGdA
Phil recently rode from his home in Lima Ohio to his house in Lakeland Florida because he wanted to spend a day at Biketoberfest. While in Lakeland he rode with the Geezers on October 13th. The attached picture is of his odometer taken during our break on the way back to Lakeland from Dam Diner in Ocklawaha. After going to Biketoberfest Phil plans on riding back to Lima before returning to Lakeland in a couple of weeks for the winter. He picked this bike up on December 18th 2014 and he would like to have 100,000 miles on it by the same date this year.

[VStarRider]

My first ride was on Feb. 7 this year, but not again until March. It was a warm winter in the northeast. I have 5,875 miles so far this season with probably another two months of riding left to go. That's five months of riding, so, about 1,200 miles per month.

I will break my own personal record of 6,800 miles from last year, I believe.

My bike will be ten years old before it gets 70,000 miles on it. "coffee"

Hmmm... 2000km on mine, 2 weeks old. I had 42,000 on the 2014 FHD Classic when I replaced her with the 6. That's all 6 month Canada riding too! The 6 will definitely make those long trips much easier than the M109R. Another 800km planned tomorrow...

You mean w/ 15,234 miles, mine isn't the most ?? .................................................. . just kidding :)
Have a buddy w/ a '97 (I think) w/ 167,000 as of 3-4 years ago. All he's done is front wheel bearings. He's still rides almost daily.

I would need 27 more years of the average 6000 miles per season I ride now to get that. Unlikely!

Wow!

Any major issues over the span of that mileage?

So far so good.
Other than routine maintenance, no, nothing major.
And I am very thankful for that.

68k on my 13 F6B as she freezes in the garage with just a sheet over her and her charger plugged in.
