My current Girly ticked over 100,000 miles this morning on the way to work. Still running well, not burning oil and good to ride.
Not bad for a bike that cost just over £3k with about 10k miles on it a few years ago. No real spend other than service parts (in which I include Regrecs and stators :icon_lol:) new front discs and some clutch parts.
Will treat her to an oil change and new chain and sprockets at the weekend. Hopefully she will keep going for a good while yet!
Takes my Girly miles up to 160k in total
Wowsa, that is some milestone, well done that bike ! :icon_salut:
Wonder what the highest mileage Tiger on this site is ?? I'm on 49,000 on my 2006 '955.
Well done mate, fantastic
Congratulations I hope I get 100k out of mine. I have over 40k on it now. Ron

Ride her every day and change the oil occasionally, that should do it :icon_lol:
Not surprised in the least I see there's a Tiger forsale on eBay with 86,000 and you see any number with 60 odd,mine has just rolled over 42,I've ridden it quite a bit lately and it's running really well and not loosing any money either :icon_biggrin:

Jeez, Im losing it, Chris sent me a text about these tyres the other day and I thought the same. What bike have I now got? A Tiger sport with 17" wheels, DOH!! :icon_rolleyes:
Thought your reply on the text was rather casual :icon_lol:
156,000 kilometers on our 03 Tiger and still going strong

No doubt they'll be grippy as a grippy thing, but will they last long enough for a trip to Spain and back Chris??? :*&*
Also, I was musing whilst accidentally decking the Explorer's right peg, two up, on Pirelli Scorpion Trial 2s last summer, "What the f**k, exactly, do you do next"....? I mean, with my usually conservative riding style, it's not something I have a lot of experience with. I was surprised, amused, chuffed and frightened witless all at the same time. Fortunately the corner opened out at about that time so no harm done. I had to turn the intercom off for a few minutes though.
