BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I was pondering where I am going with bikes over the next few years and as much as I have had some issues with my bike (none related to reliability, it has been rock solid in that department) it is by far the 'best' bike I have ever owned and I think it is going to be a long term keeper.

So, just for fun, who has the biggest mileage on an RT1200 of any vintage and what bikes have you racked up big miles on.  For the record I put 48 and something thousand miles on an FZ750 Genesis in the 80s/90s.

15600 on 2014 RT up to date, but put just short of 60,000 on the 05 Blackbird i had prior to this RT

Or least mileage on an RT, 16k on a 2006 bike ; )

26000 on a 2014 k1600gt and 30000 on an 06 GSA 

I'm ashamed to post - 8,200 on an October 2014 model...

I'm even less than that, working shifts for most of the past 12 months has limited me to only 7100 miles on my October 2014 bike 

Last September I almost bought myself a 2007 with only 4,000 miles on the clock!!

California highway patrol
Auctions their bikes off when they hit 160,000 miles

So that's when they die then.  Sounds like an acceptable life span.

46k 2010......

Auctioned CHP bikes live a second life as escort bikes, funerals etc
Not uncommon to last 20+ years in service

7100Kms on a Jan 16 RT - I'm workin' on it....

I previously owned a FJR 1300, if you look at FJFJR Biker forum and FJR owners websites, owners on there have bikes that have clocked up several hundred thousand miles.
