25k-50k here.... Mostly on the big V-twin cruiser.... If I counted the three wheeler days back in the early to mid 80's I'd say around 500000 miles....

7500 on my first bike, a Kawi 250
39000 on my 900SS/FE
51000 (so far) on my BMW
3500 (approximately) on the 853 so far
180 on my DR200
200 (give or take) on random borrowed/rented bikes
-------
101380 total miles (-ish)
I'm hoping to keep riding the Beemer until she's over 100K miles.

I've only been riding for about 4.5 years.
I put about 16,000 miles on a Harley Sportster (my first bike).
My ST4s is my second bike. I have 52,400 miles on it so far. I fully intend to take a picture of the odometer as it clicks over from '99999' to '00000'! Then maybe I'll see if I can do it again.

I estimate about 48,000 miles, but I have only been riding for 8 years and only owned a Ducati ST since spring 2002.

20K on the 91 Kawi
10K on the '73 sportster
50K on the '94 sportster

Just a guess
Based on all the bikes I've had for the last 28 years. And the mileage I'm trying to remember for each, I'd say right at 250k.
Yikes, I'm definatly an old dust farter.
This summer during a ride, I realized I had been on one of the roads in the distant past. It was such a great road, (Colorado 141) I remembered it while riding. That was kinda cool I guess.
In those miles, I've been to Fairbanks AK, Yucatan, Belize & Puerto Barrios Guatemala, NYC, Chicago, Edmonton, LA and just about everywhere in between (more than once). Man I love riding...
