I have not gone many places this year. 8,000 miles only so far, unless I get some riding in this week. 1996 ST1100 with 80,000 miles in total on it.
I did maybe under 4,000km this year.About 3,000km on the XT600...but used 3 rear tyres over the year,and sold the bike a couple of weeks ago.I ride a lot of gravel roads and the twisty used to be gravel roads that connect them.I rebuilt the engine on the DT230,did just over 300km on it,and then sold it.
I'm cutting back on the bikes that need registration and insurance costs,trying to get back to one bike for all my needs.The R65 has only been on the road for a month or so,so about 500km on it so far.So this bike will need to do gravel and nasty twisty sealed roads,it will also need to do longer distance stuff so I can see a bit more of New Zealand.Dual purpose with a difference - a streettracker for local work,and a tourer for longer travel.I plan a streettracker seat for it later.Those are 4.00x18 Dunlop K70's front and rear,and Omar's Slideways bars - it handles better than a dirt bike on gravel.

Only got in about 2000 miles on my Harley this year...work has overtaken all my free time with the automotive industry debacle.
I put 6,000 on my Goldwing since I got it in July, 08.
I'm in love!

Only about 1500, but sure have enjoyed them. 2002 Goldwing
I picked-up my '09 Road King on January 5th with 4 miles on the odometer and wasn't able to ride it again for the next 5 weeks because of the winter weather. That being said, she hit 8000 miles on the way home from work today and has 8,008 miles on the clock now as she cools off in the garage.

I've ridden my 2007 United Motors V2S 250R [249cc] about 3000 miles since I bought it from a man last 8/27/08, when it had 773 miles on it. 3k is about the average miles I used to ride in New Hampshire. I've ridden about 27 years in all, and this was my first bike in about 13 years. Here in Tennessee I can ride pretty much year round.
It took me a while to get used to clip ons at age 57 but I now seem to like them better than any other riding position.

8,590 miles so far this year.
Looking forward to many more.

57 and you like clip-ons??? Wow. Just looking at 'em makes my soon-to-be 55 year old back/knees/arms hurt.
Right around 2,000 miles on my V-Strom, so far. ~6,400 total miles. There are ALWAYS projects, it seems.. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do a lot more late summer/fall riding.

I just came back from the BMW rally - 2300 miles in 2 weeks. That puts me to about 5500 for 2009. I should easily hit the 10,000 mile mark this year.
This year I put 11,529 miles on the 01 Ninja 250
Rode 5000 miles on my Concours 14. Visited TX, NM, CO, UT. Just getting used to the bike before I start really putting on some miles.
The original post was in 2008. Mine was 35,xxx
Now it's 2009 and I'm lagging a bit - but the year isn't over yet.... 27,xxx so far.... and counting
