Mileage POLL : How many ya got? How many will you...?

ArizonaKev · 07-14-2010, 11:06 AM

I was looking at my odometer this morning, which reads just over 13K miles, and I started wondering, "I wonder how many I could put on this thing?" (thing being my '01 GZ). Then I wondered, how many miles have people gotten on one? What is a realistic expectation for an upper limit? If I kept the oil changed, did regular servicing, and took care of it, could I get 100K on it?

So I thought it might be interesting to have a kind of poll, and ask everyone :

1. How many miles do you have on your GZ250?
2. How many miles do you realistically think you will be able to put on it?

Thanks all, and happy riding! :2tup:

Thanks for the link to the other thread music man. I guess I am still wondering however, as I stated in the original question, what the upper limit for mileage is on these bikes, if there is one....?

Is it realistic to expect that a person could get over 100K miles if they take care of it? So far, it sounds like blaine or easy has the highest mileage, but neither is 100,000 yet.....

I think you have me mixed up with someone else. Maybe Sarris ??

Ain't me..... My 06 Harley has 42k on it, but my 05 GeeZer has only 14,500 on it.

My father-in-law who has been riding his whole life said this bike should get 80,000 or more miles out of it if taken care of. I hoped for at least 20k so that it great news. I wouldn't even be opposed to an engine swap at 80k if it needed it. I have 6200 on mine now and it runs like a champ.
