I had someone tell me my monster has way to many miles on it... im only at 11,000!!! My last monster had 44k and the motor was still good (everything else wanted to break though, it was a 1995)
How many people here even have over 20-30k on their monster? Mines a commuter so on top of weekend riding, id say i rack about 1,000-1,200miles a month between March and Novemeber and gradually less until snow falls.
I have about 20k on mine and it is two years old.
11tyb! ;)
Mine had 30K on it when sold.
Jammen's has about 45K or so. He did that in about two years, fyi.

Yea, your bike is definately done. I'll be by with $1000 cash to pick it up on Saturday.
There are a lot of bikes out there that just don't get ridden. Maybe that is what the person who made the comment is use to.
Deal! (wheel tank frame, all wires, accesories, and seat not included!) :D
Whats the point of buying a bike and not riding it? and 45k in two years? thats a lot of long weekends!
Mines 28.5k Still strong. I should have gone into the 30s by now... but I'm not having much of a season due the a dud ACL...
37.5k on mine. [moto]
Had one of my customers who put 37K on his M620 IN 11 MONTHS!

you should of had him tested for HGH.....
50+K miles on mine. In reality condition and history is much more important than miles and often extremely low mileage vehicles can be quite problematic. Unfortunately, most folk think otherwise so mileage has a great effect on resale.
Took that pic on the track day...
10.000 !! [moto] [thumbsup]
Is it old now ? Will it fall apart and loose more than ducturds ?

My second had 30K on it when bought. But it's been cleaned at least twice in that period that I know of, so that's no problem. [laugh]
My first had 11K on it when bought.

My S4 has 29k on the motor. Bougt it 2 years ago with 6k.
Phil please chime in.
IZ has a few miles on this 620. AFAIK the motor is solid, but the bike has a bit of an issue with peeing itself.
I bought both my M750 AND my 900SS after they had passed the 10,000 mile mark. Got a hell of a deal on them both ~
JM
My S4 had 12k on it when I bought it, it's at about 14 right now, I'll probably get something else at about 25 or 30k. That's just my MO. I get bored with stuff after a year or two.
I average 18k a year- I switched my last Monster, a 750, out at 35k last year for an S4 w/ 5k on it (got it from a DMF'er), put all my "special" parts on the new ride and have 25k on the S4 already and plan on using it up to 60k+ or so...

WTF? did the guy just keep riding back and forth across the country for fun? damn.. well at least you must have gotten something like 7 valve adjustments out of him.. did the guy set up the next valve adjustment just when you finished
"hey stu, i know you are now putting the gas tank back on but i'll need new tires and a valve adjustment in 3 weeks, see you then."
