Mileage Milestones Part 2

[the Ferret]

105,600 miles in colonial speak. Way to go Cormanus!

Last Sunday, the Z650RS passed the 10,000 km mark since last August and continues to clock up the kilometers...
To this day, I really don't know how Ferret racked up his miles...

Congrats PB. Big wheels keep on turnin'

My secret? Dont take many days off. Missed 9 days in Jan, 10 in Feb, 9 in March. 0 in April, 1 in May, 0 in June, and 0 so far in July. As Cormanus once said, and I'm paraphrasing here, I eat up lots of miles in many small bites.

I was thinking the other day, Ferret, an electric bike would be ideal for your style of riding — with a CB1100 in the garage for those longer trips.

And well done peterbaron!

Yea, it probably would suit me just fine Cormanus, other than the initial buy in price and lack of dealerships in my area. I test rode one years ago, a Zero S, and other than rock hard suspension, and getting used to the non-tactile clues that it is "running" (ie no noise, no vibes), found the bike satisfactory to ride. The initial buy in price of $15 grand back then (over $20 grand now) puts it out of range for me. I'm really happy with the NC 750X DCTs for my daily rides and I average between 75 and 80 mpg. The difference in buy in price for an NC 750DCT ($9499) and Zero SF ($20,499) is $11,000.00 and that would at today's gas prices of $3.65/gal buy over 3,000 gals of gas which @ 75 mpg would be the equivalent of 225,000 miles on the petrol fired bike.

The fact that the NC750X gets such good mileage is a plus for those of us who pay... ahem... a little more than $3.65 a gallon.

Gone how much is a gal of reg now in your area?
