I've got a 2000 with 66000km (that's ~41000 miles) on the clock.
About 45000 km of those are mine since I got it in march 2003. :)

1992 model with 41326 miles on the clock. It looked a bit old and sad when I bought her, but nice and shiny these days. I've only had 1 mechanical problem fixed by replacing the petcock.

Quote from: Spitfire45 k in less than two years? Have you been riding to Germany everyday?

Summer and fall of the 2003 were blessed with nice weather and I was out on a ~1000km trip most of the weekends. And I used it to commute to work and back...
Add to that a couple of longer trips (Mugello for the MotoGP, summer vacation down the Adriatic coast, ...) and it adds up.
2004 was a bit weaker as the weather didn't play along, but it was fun anyway.

I put on my 2000 only 20,000 Kms (12,000+ miles) in almost 4 years, what can I do?, I had a wonderful Civic Si 2000 for the traveling until I wrecked it and my job is very close to home, about 3 or 4 miles away.
