Part of my work has me looking at information on all sorts of vehicles. One thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of people with bikes in the northeast that don’t have very many miles on them. It’s not unusual for me to come across 6-7 year old bikes with only 4-5k miles on them. On occasion though, I have come across a few with LOTS of miles…a 5 year old H-D with over 100K comes to mind…

This got me to wondering…Every year that I have had a motorcycle, I seem to average about 5500 miles on it. How many miles a year do you put on?

8-10K was my avg.

This year (now that I own a Harley) probably closer to 13-15K.

Around 8-10k is my average as well between the bikes.

Car typically sees little to no use during the summer.

Last years 3800 mile trip in a week helped me get some solid numbers.

Most sportbike owners average 3.5k or so a year as a rule of thumb.
