Well I think that means you've both got more miles on your bikes than one of Johnny Boxer's ten year old 1150s
Cheeky fucker
The one I'm on this week, has more than 50k now
Who has the highest GS LC mileage?
- Thread starter Gnits

30 k on 14 plate......and not a problem....
Update...
60K miles service. Required front disks and pads, rear disks and pads, new rear tyre, replacement to the drive gaitor and a new rear brake reservoir, I must have booted the original with my clumsy hooves at some point.
I was loaned a bike while the parts arrived, an R1200RT. Nice to have a way to get to work but I didn't really like the handling, really glad to get back on mine!

32000 mls on "14" plate..... rear shocker and start switch just packed in but otherwise all ok....
At last my little bike has had a failure which stopped me.
Went to take it to the 72000 service and it would not start, bump started it and at the garage it turns out the generator has packed up. New one on order.
Still happy enough that it lasted that long, so 'fair enough' as far as I am concerned.

Not near that mileage. My adventure from 2014 is just over 20.000 kilometers. But I do not drive during the winter and my constant participating in missions outside Europe tend to put some restrains on my driving possibilities.
61k kms on a 2013, so a mere 38k miles. Runs beautifully.
I will be returning to England later this year and am a bit anxious about how well it will cope with rain, salt etc.

Generator is about £600 but as has been mentioned it is engine out and in pieces! Telelever bearings also needed doing.
Hoping to pick it up this week if I can.
Still, if it does another 70k miles without something major needing doing then I am quite happy with that.
Pretty sure the BMW warrantee has an upper limit of 60k miles for renewals.
