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.

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.

Whats the point of buying a bike and not riding it? and 45k in two years? thats a lot of long weekends!

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.

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.

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.
