Who rides the most every month, year....

I just turned my 08 Hyper over 17,000 miles in 15 months, thats over 1,000 miles a month. I wonder if I ride too much, too often, but I tell you guys something, I can never get tired of this bike, the more I ride it, the more I want to ride.
How many miles/months have you ridden yours ?

I average about 10k miles a year. My '06 KLR650 had 33k before my 3rd year was up, and I'm sitting on 8k on my Hyper now. I have been putting some miles on my friend's SV650, too.

Miles

Hi, only rode the Hyper 1 month before winter set in = 920 miles. If we can count miles on other bike we own??? My best year was 35 K on a concours and most years I do well over 20K . I've done many 1000 mile days in most cases back to back to back etc. My longest day was 43 hours = 2,750 miles in one sitting, did 3300 miles in 57 hours(2 -4 hour naps) cross country on less than 50 hours many times.
Did I mention I'm a ironbutt rider.
My biggest problem with the hyper is it's 3.3 gas tank. My concours and now my v-strom 1000 have 11 gal. of fuel.
If we are not counting our other bikes I just might rack up a lot of miles on the hyper because it is the most fun bike I have ever owned..

Gary, thats incredible !!!
If I ride more than 3-4 hours straight, my right hand just "dies" and my butt feels like crap !!! I have to congratulate you. On long rides, I fall asleep, even on the bike, so I have to stop and take naps, you are a winner !!!

Dragoon, I had two KLR`s before the Hyper, and I loved them, but I had to replace the rear shock once too many times. I loved and miss the cargo rack and the soft and forgiving ride. One thing I also did not like about the KLR was the constant repair of flat tires ( nail and screws ), they were nail magnets for some reason, other than that great bike.

I don't ride my hyper at all. I just sit on it in front a video with a fan blowing flies in my face.
