The 2008 650L has under 2500. (bought new in 2010, spent at least a year on the blocks while I decided what to do about its' burnt up engine).
2013 CB has roughly 4400 miles (1K just recently put on when I took her to Death Valley), mostly a town bike.
2012 Griso has just over 10K miles but I've been able to take her on some road trips and to rally's. Typically it's my go to bike for road tripping. She is on the blocks waiting for the roller tappet conversion (flat tappets on the 8V motor are prone to failure so Guzzi has kits out to upgrade it).
Depending upon the year, I seem to average around 3K for all the bikes. I thought it was 4, math says otherwise. sigh..... Which logically means I spend way too much money on them for as little as I use them.
That's why I call it a hobby, if you don't count the money you spend on it
while you afford it. Still another hobby of the heart.
From May 2014 to November 2015 I drove 24.00km with the Honda, let's call it a well used hobby.
In addition to these kilometers I rode round about 10.000km
with the W800 in the same time. Only this less 'cause the CB was pretty new and
I really liked to get known to it. That meant, drive it, drive it and again...
I'll see, what the next long season, if the weather is fine I drive the whole year through,
is going to be like and which bike gets the more kilometers on its speedometer.
