Nicely done LPOL. This is a great snapshot in time but how will you keep it current and relevant as time and miles go by?

You are precisely correct...this mileage exercise is a snapshot and will vary over time.

Any suggestions?

I have 82,000 on my GS 1100 96' (no problems, I changed the gas pump once) and 8300 on my 2011( no issues).

I want to know the stories behind the numbers. Who has the '11 with 60,000+ miles? There has to be some great ride reports/recommendations from that person.

You won't see a ride report from this one...until...he stops riding!
And...according to my calculations...that could be awhile.

08 gsa, 65,000 klms. this bike is only used one day a week, however, when I get to go on a trip, it is usually a minimum of 8/10 thousand klms. love it:

Great results so far...keep that MILEAGE and YEAR coming...

There are over 7% on 2011 bikes with 60K mileage. WHO ARE those guys?!

Apparently the 1 rider that accounts for the 7% got the high priced factory OEM 'glued to seat' option. Can't get off the bike to ask the dealer service department about the phenomena.

We better ask him if he uses an aftermarket seat, and get one!

If the goal of th survey was to get an idea of miles per year on GS's then I should have listed mine as 2010 instead of an 09. I got it well into 2010.

Based on the first 150 responses...here's the weighted average by YEAR.


2005 41,000 30
2006 40,417 12
2007 32,813 32
2008 26,944 18
2009 28,393 28
2010 13,929 14
2011 8,438 16*
150
*Eliminated the 60,000+ mileage for 1 respondent who apparently was glued to his seat.

Weighted Average by Year results are now CHARTED!
See the NEW EXCEL icon to link to the chart.

Average rider across all years (2006-2011) rides about 5,663 miles per year.

Click on EXCEL chart icon (Post #1) for more info. Details on Sheet1 just above the chart.

Seem about right to you?

Honestly that's lower than I thought.

2006 GS Adventure......44000 miles

Upon reflection...it's probably slightly LOW since a value of 62,500 was used in the average for all entries over 60,000.

2005 could be 75,000?
2006 could be 70,000 ?

Guess that I could have made entry ranges up to 100,000 for each year (obviously overkill for 2010-2011) to be more exact.

There are a good number of entries in the 60,000 mileage range.

Think you've got a LOW MILEAGE GS/A? How would you prove it?

1. Enter your mileage in the survey...and compare your results to everybody else!

2. Click on the EXCEL icon in Post #1...and see the average mileage by year...

Did you know the average rider logs about 5,600 miles per year? How does that compare to you?

I'd say that's true. 88k miles on my '07 and I know of several '07s over 100k miles but not sure if those owners have weighed in on the survey.
