High Mileage
Manfred,
I'm not sure! My wife and I put 7,000 miles on the S this summer on vacation (New Orleans--alas, San Antonio, Santa Fe, southern Utah, etc., etc.). We visit relatives in Boston about once a month (about 500 miles round trip), we ride with a club most Sundays (300-400 miles) and use the bike for general recreational transportation. The car gets used for commuting to work which is too close to bother getting on the bike (a couple of miles). All that proper protective gear...
We've also put a couple of thousand miles on the '98 K1200RS (it has 167,000 miles) which was off the road for about five months getting an engine/transmission transplant. Now that its back in service it will be used mostly to give the S a break; the S will be for the twisties and any other times we want to go fast and really enjoy the ride.
Ride safe and often,
Ken
P.S. Having a working wife helps keep the finances in order. I'm ritired, but do some substitute school teaching to keep me out of trouble.
