7200 on my '04 as of today. So far kept her stock except for a 15t sprocket and a new rear at 4500k miles. I think the -1 CS puts the bike's higher gears in a more usable state. Mostly used gears 1-3 before the change, now I use mostly 2-4. I changed my riding style a bit.. I think depending mostly on engine braking is what chewed up my rear so quickly. Thinking about adding a few teeth to the rear also once it's time for a new chain.

Bought my '99 in March 2000 with ~1,750 miles.  It currently has a little over 31,000.

My commute is between 10 and 11 miles round trip, so that only accounts for about 2,700 miles per year.  :mrgreen:

2000 GS, May 2002, 2253 miles.

Now, about 11,700.  I need to ride more :)  Planning a trip to North Carolina this fall.

My commute is only about 10 minutes, and my wife begs me not to ride in the rain, so maybe it's not too bad :)

Bought my 97 new in 3-99 with 5 miles on it.  It now has about 79,000 miles on it.

Bought my 02 used in 9-03 with 4500 miles on it and it now has about 16,000 miles on it.

16,000-4,500+79,000 = 90,500 GS500 miles.    :thumb:  

90,500/65mo = 1392 mi per mo aver x 12 mo = 16,700 mi per yr average on my GS500s since Mar 99.  

Put another approx 1000 mi per winter on an old CM400A in addition to the GS500 miles.  The 97 GS has now replaced the disposed of CM400A as my winter bike until the salt water eats it up too!   :lol:  :lol:

Put about 230,000 miles on 4 Hondas since starting in July 84 for a total of about 320,000 miles.

Bought my 1993 a week ago with about 13,200 miles on it. It's got about 50 more now, only 20 of them mine.
I'm still in "parking lot mode" so hubby has been shuttling it to a local parking lot where I take over and practice until my arms ache.  He also drove it home from where we bought it for me.  I just put 15 miles on in the lot this AM, around and around and around and around......
