FJR Mileage Milestones

[SkooterG]

I reached this on my POS Gen II 2009 FJR while crossing the Island of Corsica recently:

Sometime earlier this year reached 600,000 total miles on various FJRs.  Unfortunately, miles are coming slower these days.

Congratulations on reaching the 600,000 mile club!!! I've slowed down myself these last couple of years. I didn't ride for 4 months of prime time this year, partly because of some health issues and bike issues also. My total FJR mileage now is 769,388 of which over a 120,000 of it is on the Gen 3. My Gen 1 is supposed to be back anytime now.

What happened? Get a job my friend? Hopefully all is well and no health issues...

Well, I rolled 100,000 miles yesterday. 2013 model adopted March 2, 2013.

For the KM crowd, check out the miles I have after my last ride. It figures out to nice even miles.

 

[mcatrophy]

Hmm. 788570 Km = 489994.6810 miles. That's a nice round number

Pretty impressive, though .

[Edit: Is there a decimal point before the last '0' in the picture? That would make it 48999.4681 miles.]

I don't think the motorcycle speedometer reads in decimals like this, when my speedometer reads 788570 km, when you switch it to miles it reads an even 490000 miles. There's no decimal point in either, this is actual miles or km on
my bike.

Thanks for the update. I enjoy following your progress. Ride safe and well!!!

What was required to get the old Ghost back on the road?

 

[The Gray Ghost]

Well it needed lower cowl and front fairings and wrap around tail section, which we got from a 2004 donor and now I have a nice two tone gray look and replaced the radiator. It took well over a year to get all this done. It now is a 2003-04 FJR 1300. Check my Avatar, for the Km mileage. I'm closing in on my big mileage goal. !!!!

 

[The Gray Ghost]

Finally did it, is this a world's record or not for an FJR? It's now getting a well deserved rest.!!!

I don't know if it's a world record, but it's sure as heck impressive. I'd love to know compression test numbers.
