    Had mine from new since March 2010 and have covered just over 13k miles.
    Though I have put around another 3.5k miles on my other bikes in that time also.

    Interesting post as I've been worrying if I should get a newer blade, just on miles/resale value. 08 model bought off dude I knew emigrating May '13 with 14k, now 26k. FSH -ridden daily no problems except thieving bastards and a wiring error with the Datatool-since removed when I first got her. Plus Honda honoured the clutch recall (cos I asked nicely)at 16k. Maybe too late to worry about that and just love the one you're with?
    Maybe.

    July 2008 Bike, which I got second hand on Jan 1st 2009 with about 2k on the clock

    Its somewhere near 80,000 now - and no real mechanical problems in that time - engine has almost no wear after those miles - and its been covered in sh!t (literally) , snow, sludge, mud, muck, Hudson Kennagh dude was disgusted when he saw it on track looking like a tractor once!

    However this year has been a different story...

    Interesting post Remal, nice one.

    Got my RR6 3 years ago and it had 3K on it. It now has 11K on it , so 8K in 3 years. The old girl is now 8 years old and still only 11 K.

    Used purely for fun, usually for 40 miles per ride and no touring. Must ride her more.
