High Mileage Monsters!

[EverettShadowbrook]

Hi All.

I'm new here and recently purchased a 2000 m900ie. This is my second bike and so far it has been amazing! The mileage on my new duc is "high" compared to other Monsters we all see for sale. I currently have 33,000 miles. The bike runs great and all service has been timely and documented.

Just wondering how many other "high" mileage Monsters are out there? 

Also, what is the average yearly mileage on our bikes?

Thanks in advance.

There's a handful of high-milers.

At least one guy who used to be on the forum (or at least TOB) had over 100K.

Phil Bonzer

Last I heard, he was over 140,000 miles and counting.



I think the resident high-miler is IZ.

But we're still not sure how many miles he's logged as we can't read the pics of his 620's odometer.

57K.

IZ and Howie are the biggest numbers on the board as far as I know. I've got 31.5 on my 900 and climbing, so I've got a ways to go.

26.5K on my 05 620 Monster, nearing the end of my second season.
Averaging ~9K per year (April - Nov).

Not hi mileage, hopefully it will be, I plan to commute and fun run on it for years,
it's a great little bike.

my old street bike , an '01 Monster 900 Dark ie, I got with 800 miles on it, and I put 30K on it in 2.5 years before I had to give it to the ex in the seperation...my current bike is a Cagiva Gran Canyon( pretty much a 96 Monster 900 small valve head motor with 1st generation Marelli injection (I think 1.5) and I am over 55K...

Thanks for the input everyone. Good to know I'm not the only one with a monster that has actually been ridden.

Everyone with 40K +...Have you had to do any major engine work to keep your monster running? If so, at what mileage did you have to pull the motor and rebuild?

Thanks again

mine was a 620 that i ripped apart at 56k to put a 900 in, completely disassembled the 620 and was suprised how good everything looked, mine at least didnt have anything that really needed replaced. I did chance the clutch out once at 30k ish but that was it.

13,295 on my purchased new in 9/08 Monster 696. I'm getting there.

nearly 42k miles on my '05 S4R.
