How many miles per year do you ride?

In a normal year I run around 20,000 miles on my two Burgmans combined. This year it's probably going to be closer to 10,000 because of the broken leg that kept me from riding for 6 months. You can see my bikes and the current mileage on them in my signature.

I would put 30-35 thousand on my Concours back when I had a job with vacation days. Recently that dropped to about 22k just commuting. Then I had an accident which kept me driving a cage for a year and a half, but I'll have had my '07 650 for four weeks on Thursday and I've already put 2100 miles on her. Looks like another good year!

I averaged 12,400 per year with my 07 400. I've only had my 09 650 for 6 months & have put 7,100 miles on it. So looks like I'm at 14k per year for it. 
Since this time last year, I have had a BMW R80RT, BMW R1200CLC, a Burgman 400, a Burgman 650 and a V-Star 650. I rode the R1200CLC 200-300 miles, the Burgman 400 4,000 miles, the Burgman 650 3,500 miles and the V-Star 650 1,000 miles. The Burgmans and V-Star replaced the BMWs. The 400 was totaled July 1 when I was hit in the rear. I now have and plan to keep the 650 and the V-Star. I originally planned on keeping only the Burgman 650 but once I sold the BMWs, I immediately had withdrawal pains and bought the little V-Star to Keep the motorcycle feel and still change gears. I couldn't make myself leave motorcycles cold turkey.

I'm a piker. I average 2-3k per year give or take. Since I don't work I ride mainly to and from the golf course when its nice out - meaning its not going to rain and its at least 45 degrees F outside - with promise of the temp going up and not down. Its 8 miles to and from - with 5 of those miles 60mph. I might take 5-10 'joy' rides per year. I should do more but there's that pesky golfing thingy taking up so much of my time when its warm.

I have not ridden my 13 650 that much yet but my past mileage is around 9k per year. BUT I also have a Vespa 300 GTS which I put about 6500 on each year. Things may change as I am now severed and do not commute 85 miles per day. I hope to join a maxi scooter group so I can do some miles as I do on my Vespa. I have never missed my motorcycles. I think scootin is much more fun. OH and the storage hahaha

I run about 4k commute and 10k fun riding. Hope to do more now that I've got the 650.
TBall, keep an eye out for "LA Area Ride" posts. A few members have expressed interest. Maybe you can join us someday. Actually, I wouldn't mind coming down your way some time. I don't know south Los Angeles very well and would be interested if there is some tasty riding to be done.

You should vote. You've had yours long enough to come up with a good average per month. 10k sounds about right.

Jeff........Us in So. Cal should have no excuse for not putting 10k + with the great weather we have.Over the past 12 months, 6610 miles:
AN400: 3260 mi - around town, with an occasional day ride
AN650: 3350 mi - 2-up multi-day touring, long day rides
In my mind, I thought these were pretty impressive numbers. Clearly I'm the slacker here.
