Mileage POLL : How many ya got? How many will you...?

[ArizonaKev]

I was looking at my odometer this morning, which reads just over 13K miles, and I started wondering, "I wonder how many I could put on this thing?" (thing being my '01 GZ). Then I wondered, how many miles have people gotten on one? What is a realistic expectation for an upper limit? If I kept the oil changed, did regular servicing, and took care of it, could I get 100K on it?

So I thought it might be interesting to have a kind of poll, and ask everyone :

1. How many miles do you have on your GZ250?
2. How many miles do you realistically think you will be able to put on it?

Thanks all, and happy riding! :2tup:

Thanks for the link to the other thread music man. I guess I am still wondering however, as I stated in the original question, what the upper limit for mileage is on these bikes, if there is one....?

Is it realistic to expect that a person could get over 100K miles if they take care of it? So far, it sounds like blaine or easy has the highest mileage, but neither is 100,000 yet.....

I think you have me mixed up with someone else. Maybe Sarris ??

My father-in-law who has been riding his whole life said this bike should get 80,000 or more miles out of it if taken care of. I hoped for at least 20k so that it great news. I wouldn't even be opposed to an engine swap at 80k if it needed it. I have 6200 on mine now and it runs like a champ.
