I hit 5k in four months, and part of that was on a trip to PNW.

B.D.F,
I am at 80,258.  What are you at now?
Got National Rally coming up and suspect with >2000 during that week and the commutes till then, I should pull way ahead.  100K before Xmas is likely. Then it's a piece of tape over the 1 to start over.

STOCK SEAT TOO :o

Maybe this question should be a separate thread:

For those with high mileage (40k+ ?), it'll be interesting to know:

  • Type of mileage (motorway, commuting)
  • Climate the bike is ridden in
  • Age of bike
  • Major issues
My bike is an 08 model with 45k on the clock. Used for daily commuting on the motorway (about 80 miles round trip).
The weather here in the UK is generally damp to wet for 9 months, and dry to sunny for three. The bike gets ridden all year round.

Issues with bike in that time:
  • warped discs
  • broken windshield assy
  • bearings require replacing at 20k intervals (now on non OEM part)
  • display died
  • TPS sensors replaced
No issues with the engine at all

Commuting 80 as well, track twice a year, touring, parking lot type stuff, and of course plenty of mountain twisties.

No issues with the engine at all Still get low batt till they warm up

Only warranty work I have had done was the gear position sensor.  Over 52000 care free miles, flyless, PCV, Auto Tune, AreaP full, ZX14 throttle bodies, running Lucas full synthetic since the first oil change at 200 miles.  Also prefer Pirelli Angels over the PR2s.  And yes, I do idle along in 6th when SWMBO is along for the ride ;)

I think his name was Charles R. with the high mileage. I wish I didn't wreck my first C-14. I would be sitting at about 68,000 miles with in 32 months. It would have put me in his range of 100,000 in 4 years. Not too bad for a New England resident.

Conundrum. (I think his name is John)

Beat me to 100k by about 4000 miles. I'm sure i'm even farther back now, since my commute halved, and I now own a car again.

Still, 106K on my clock.

type of mileage? everything... including a track day ;)
Type of climate? Everything.
Bought Aug. 3rd. 2007
No major issues.

I had the dash surround replaced early on.
I've had the early glovebox replaced by the slightly better fitting 2009 version.
Kawi exchanged the final drive on a few of us high milage guys, so they could inspect them.
I tried to get them to pay out the warranty for the peeling paint on the OEM muffler, so I could store credit an aftermarket one. But instead I bought a second used OEM one for $40.00. (that also is peeling...)
Replaced a lot of tires. I prefer Pilot Power 2CT fronts, but like the Dunlop Roadsmart too.(I'm very easy on my front tire, so I get decent mileage) And either Dunlop Roadsmarts, or Michelin Pilot Road 3 in the rear. (probably stick with the PR3 from now on) 
Replaced the brake pads for EBC's, but didn't like them, so I'm back on OEM pads. (and due to replace them...again :P)
Replaced the wheel bearings around 50k
Replaced the steering head bearings around that time too. (probably just needed a retorque, but what the heck)

And that's about it. The rest of the bike has gone the distance. (Yes, the brake rotors are 106k old) I'm a mechanic by trade, but I don't want to do work on my free time, so I've let a shop in Gilroy do all the service work, and I've liked the results.

Mine has 4100 miles more today than it had just ten days ago.  A friend and I (also on a Concours) just completed a trip from Houston up through Southern Colorado & Utah, and northern Arizona & New Mexico. 

I now have approx 35,000 miles on my 2010 that is 29 months old.  The only thing that has had to be fixed was a tire pressure sensor.  I typically average around 47-48 mpg overall.  I ride all year around in Houston, and we saw temps in the high 20s in Colorado for a short time in the mornings on our trip, although the lowest we rode for any length of time was 30's and 40's.  I ride the bike fast, but not what I would call hard.  It has seen top speed several times, and sees well over 100mph almost every time I ride it.

52,000 in 2 years, 1800 was this weekend.

KiPass has protected my bike so ZERO issues.

1800 in a weekend? Is that about 900 per day?  That is pretty darn good for one days worth of riding not to mention two days back to back of it...
