For the first year ever I have not been using the bike to commute due to moving to fully WFH about 16 months ago, previously I'd be somewhere around 15-17k a year, occasionally hiting 20-25k.

Just had my MOT done and its clocked in at 4066 miles this year, so a poor showing in some ways, but that is all social, domestic, and pleasure miles which has made an amazingly refreshing change! To celebrate having the MOT done I took a "long" way home rather than the 7 miles between home and the MOT station and ended up clocking in 145 miles already for this coming year already smile

I only did 1 trip this year, and didn't ride much in the heatwave summer as it was just too hot for me. Feb MOT to MOT will be 3.8k, compared to 7k and 8k the years before. Tyres will last longer I suppose.

I reckon this year on the tuono will be 4000ish miles when I MOT it December. Last year was about 8000 miles

I've done 2700 miles on my Enduro bike in a year

About 1000 miles on my RS250

And maybe 600-700 miles on track with my GSXR 1000

623 whole miles.
I did buy some new boots today though,to hide away ready for next year by the look of the weather up here in the next few weeks. Life’s just got in the way a bit this year.

My MOT is August and it was only 4,000 in between. Normally around 6,800/7,000. But was away with work for five weeks and had a month and a bit in the summer not using it as I was lazy to fix it.

Now using it five days a week, 50 miles a day, so expect it to jump up.

I don't know exactly how many this year, but I noticed the other day I've passed 20k miles since I got the bike in May '24. The bike had to be repatriated ten days after I bought it and I was over three months without it, so that pretty much is 10k pa. Although I commute year round, the large majority is pleasure miles so I'm pleased at that.

My other bike has managed about 1k miles in the same time, bit embarrassed by that.

I’ll have done about 4k this year, most of which on a single trip.

I’m moving house away from N Manchester / Lancs to the East Yorkshire wolds.

I expect my mileage to increase somewhat as a result as I will be able to literally ride out of the door and be on top biking roads. Currently I don’t go out on the bike for an afternoon simply because round here it’s simply too busy, low speed limits mean an hour stuck in first gear to get to and decent roads, the decent roads are rammed with cars escaping the same, and local roads are extremely dangerous due to people who don’t think the laws apply to them in their uninsured Audis and “rented” supercars running riot; I’m not being left crippled by one of these tts when they run me over then run off to be picked up by some random mini cab driver. It’s like the Wild West and I really can’t be arsed riding in it.

I didn't note the mileages at the start of the year but at a rough guess around 6000 on the Kawasaki, withich includes a trip to the Dolomites and a trip to ride the Route des Grande Alpes. I've also done around 2500 on the BMW although it's done more as it wa borrowed by my Australian friend for the Dolomites trip.

Around 4500 this year. Only have the one bike so easily measured! Mixture of a tour in Wales, few nights away, few weekend blasts and a bit of riding to work in the summer. Bikes up for sale now ready for a tasty replacement for the next season biggrin

3-4000 this year which is normal for me.

Probably would have been more but I lost over 2 summer months with a snapped Achilles tendon. At least 1000 miles in organised runs and weekends away.

About 300 to 400 miles but that's on 3 outings this year. Just been busy marshalling, life etc.. Once I get around the buying a touring bike I would be adding 10k a year. Just not got the ££ at the moment

About 10k, including a 1k miles flat out and another 1k on tracks, half of that a go kart track and the other half the Nürburgring.

I've had my scrambler for three and a bit years now, and it's on about 11k, with slightly less in this year than the previous two. There's been too much going on in life this year to get out as much as I'd have liked.

From January until now, I’ve done give or take a few 16600 miles. That’s between 5 bikes. The Bobber being the most used bike with 5.5k on that bike alone.

This pic was taken on Sept 19th. This week it’ll spin over to 22k.

3.3k miles on this years OG trip alone. Across both bikes I'd estimate 8-10k. Clocked up a lot miles toddling around with the wife on her 125cc learning.

About 5k miles across 3 bikes, and will continue to ride the K1600 through winter on dry days.

Currently at 4989 but the year is not over. 1650 of that is euro trip, could have been more but we have a 13 month old baby so free time for hobbies is rare.
