| After reading stories of the silverwing being able to cover big mileges, I thought I.d start a bit of a poll to see what miles forum members have done on their s/wings to give an idea of what miles are covered on different s/wings by their owners. (Hope its not been done before), I'll start the ball rolling , not too much imfo on mine because Ive not had it long, hopefully your readings might be more interesting, here goes. Only bought mine early last month so, -2012, - 700 miles. First service last week. |

| While not the same thing, there is an updatable poll to list your miles under the general catagory. Interesting to see along with a number of other polls. |

| My 05 now got 10190m (16400k), 2500m (4000k) was by me since buying it this past spring. Every mile (1.6k ) was enjoyable!!! No issues with anything, so far. May replace the drive belt this winter, no symptoms of it goin bad but its almost due for replacement and it'll give me a "bike" project on those long winter evenings! May replace the stock mirrors with the signal light ones as well. Ebay $35 for both (may ask santa). |

| My SWing was purchased new in May 2012 with "0" miles on it. I now have over 3800 on it AND I was gone for 6 weeks this summer. So yes, been racking up the miles. Several 300+ mile days with highest so far of 367. |

| I mis-understood this post originally but if you asking for the longest trip made on my silverwing that was this past summer I rode to Lake Placid, NY from Atlanta, GA which was almost 1200 miles spread over two days, then I was there helping family for a week and two day return trip all freeway and the Wing did fantastic. Only bike I've ever owned you can be on for 11 hours in 1 day and still be reasonably comfortable. I couldn't make that trip on my Aprilia Sport touring bike unless I had a week to get there LOL, 45 minutes and your butt is already sore on that.
As a side note I did ride up White Face to the peak while I was there and it was one of the best rides I've ever done period. |

| Bought my 2009 Swing with 3700 miles 9/25/10. I am now at 33,540. I hope to reach 30,000 or more by end of this season. Took three 1 week trips this summer, Knoxville, TN (June), OH, WV, PA (July), Black Hills, SD (August) totaling about 7800 miles in those three weeks. The longest day on the bike was 620 miles about 12 hours. That is the most miles I have done in one day. Enjoying the ride and the people I meet along the way. Along with having a hobby both my husband and I can enjoy. |

I have one of those cheap chinese scooters that wouldn't last they said.... 3.5 years ago!!! And know those are miles not Kilometers 1 time it left me stranded which is when I learned what a CVT belt was and that they don't last forever lol.... |
