Miles on your current LT

[doctorbeemer]

=============

[meese]

I assume you mean total mileage currently on the bike? 92K, though that's light weight compared to some folks here.

I guess that makes 2 Light Weights,95,500 miles Purchased 8-2002

[strsout]

OK, I will put my, so the other guys can be more willing to show off :) :)

only 60K on my current 2002.

I don't ride to work dough.

[dglenn1]

OK, I will put my, so the other guys can be more willing to show off :) :) OK. I can really lower the bar. 12K purchased 01/06. Only 8K are mine so that's ~1K/month. Commuting only.

[1stymer]

I know this will get eyes rolling but only 2,300 miles on 05Lt. I just cant get enough time off to ride, and I really do want to. It still has that showroom freshness.

[Lonewuff]

9K on an 06 purchased in April.

[Woolly]

12K miles in 15 months,

BUT...

a) all our roads in the UK (and Europe(and Africa)) are twisties - non of this 1K+ miles of 'superslab'

b) our bikes are usually laid up for 6 months of the year -snow-frost-ice-mud- horse (droppings)

so, 12K, not toooooooooo bad, really.

[bigbear]

20,415 on my 02

This is my weekend two-up ride, the old K is the still the work horse.

[katnapinn]

25,986 miles on a 2000. BUT...... I got it 1 1/2 years ago with 13,200 on it

[charlieg]

How about lowest mileage on an LT? My first '05 had 700mi. when a deer strike totaled it. I now have 38K on my second '05. -Chuck-

[NOGILLS2]

I have an 03 LT with 37,700 miles on it, I have owned it for 20 months, it had 6800 on the clock when I got it. YEE HAAAA!!

[DaveDragon]

I'm a lightweight as well, only 96,000 plus on the 02 LT and a mere 30,000 on my 4 mo old GS Adventure.


I'm so ashamed....http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif

[Ridesalot]

2005 7/2/04 28,624

it would be more if i didn't have to work....

[ksawatsky]

... but I bought it a year ago with only 11K.

[ranks]

20,415 on my 02

This is my weekend two-up ride, the old K is the still the work horse.

Whew !!!

I was afraid to post !! (Check my sig)

My LT was my only bike for about 6 months, when I got an FZ1, then an R1200GS. The smaller, lighter bikes are my daily bikes, and my solo 1 state away bikes. The LT is for the wife, and the long trips.

[Steve_R]

Since I bought mine 2 1/2 years ago with 38K on the ticker, the speedometer at present reads 93355. I just can't find enough time to ride. :rotf:

[hschisler]

23,500 on my '05. Purchased 9/7/05. Not bad for a first-year (ever) rider.

Gee, if only I didn't have to:

work
run errands that require a car or truck
take care of the yard
sleep
eat meals
fill out polls... :D

[meese]

Now come on, Woolly, no excuses. Riding year-round while based in Wales I managed to put 28K on my '99 LT in about two years. You have fine motorways, and the continent for that matter. But yeah, you do have some great B-roads to play on. :D

[jeffklt]

114k on '99 that I purchased 08/01 with 9k

It will be for sale when I hit 200k if anyone is looking for used :)

[mpillis]

22,000 miles on my 05 LT

[Lzyellodog]

12K in about 10 months. Bought the 05 in Sept 0f 05 and had to work in FL June and July this year so no riding just alot of commuting on airplanes. Glad that is over now back to riding. I finally washed her today, temp was 45 degrees but she was just a dirty girl.

[baurcorp]

49K on my 03 LT loving every minute of it! :yeah:

[Big_E]

30,000 on 05

[jkersh1]

73,000 on my '02 purchased used in July 2003 with 3K on the meter. 23K on my GS.

[mconlogue]

40k, 110 miles per day on 2005 lt in Maine. I commute 9 months a year, at 110 miles per day. I generally commute at least 3-4 days a months in the "winter" (ie ice covered roads, or fricking snow!!)

Re: Current mileage on your LT?
24,125 (almost 10X what it had when I bought it last NOV {2512}), only problem was the gas gauge not working when I picked it up in Portland due to ?overfilling or plugging of the cannister? while the previous owner had it. Spent a lovely two hours rest on the 5 around Grants Pass waiting for gas.....

[meese]

True Ernie, but you're still way ahead of my LT. :D

[glenn]

2005 LT purchased 8/05 turned 38000 today on way to coast

[ErnieA]

True Ernie, but you're still way ahead of my LT. :D

I'm thinkin' I might want to leave enough life for a 100CCC in the future. What do you think of that Meese?;)

[Col H]

99,000 klms on a 08/02.. :bmw:

[meese]

I was thinking more like 50CC myself, but I suppose I gotta get back home somehow. :D

[Dochatley]

114k on '99 that I purchased 08/01 with 9k

It will be for sale when I hit 200k if anyone is looking for used :)

Jeff, just curious, any problems with the bike in 114K miles. I have a '99 with only 29,500 on her (16,500 when I bought her last year) and am scared to death the rear end is going to go out or the slave cylinder will leak, or one of the other problems that keeps happening to everyone will happen to me.

AT 81K clutch started slipping, second bad slave cylinder seriously fouled clutch plates. Took it to a dealer for new clutch, when they split the case primary shaft of tranny was flapping in the breeze, I ended up replacing the transmission, tech got it all back together and did not like sound of rear end, pulled it appart and it was about to frag. Put the new bearing in the rear end. Traded them two of my future grandchildren to get the bike out of the shop but haven't had any problems since then.

BTW turned 118k last week.

[Florian]

I know this will get eyes rolling but only 2,300 miles on 05Lt. I just cant get enough time off to ride, and I really do want to. It still has that showroom freshness.

dont feel so bad, 3K on 05 as well.

[was]

53,607 (tonight) on a '99. I bought it 4/15/05 with 33,700, so that (let's see, cross out the 6 and put a 5, carry the 1, oh screw it) somewhere about 20,000 in 1.75 years. Pathetic. Excuse me please, I'm gonna go out for a ride.

[bblalock]

Bought Ophelia 10/1/05 new and she has 30,700 on the clock. I comute most days and just ride many others. One extended trip to NS, 4,300 miles. Love this LT!.

[DaveDragon]

The DragonFly passed 100,000 miles on December 27th.

[Steve_R]

Purchased Red Rover in April 2004 with 37,830 on the odometer. As of today, it sits at 99,202. I hope to have 137,830+ on her by the end of this year. :yeah:

[Prin]

After reading some of the earlier posts, I still feel lilke I'm in the lightweight division! Bought new in '02. Got 112+ on the clock! No commuting to work; just pleasure riding!

[UncleRock]

The number on your odometer held against another persons, is not a true measure of the value of your place or time with your bike.
The endless joy brought by thoughts of rides you have taken, the extra crows feet around your eyes because you could not stop smiling, the piece of gear givin to you by another, just because you needed it!
These are the true mile posts that will last forever in your heart. :cool:

[meese]

True, but it's much harder to turn that into a poll. :)

Re: Current mileage on your LT?
24,125 (almost 10X what it had when I bought it last NOV {2512}), only problem was the gas gauge not working when I picked it up in Portland due to ?overfilling or plugging of the cannister? while the previous owner had it. Spent a lovely two hours rest on the 5 around Grants Pass waiting for gas.....

Well I certainly can't match some of you but for a northern climate where we had 4 months last winter where I couldn't get out at all, we now have close to 30m km's (+/- 18m miles) on our '04 LT bought in Oct. '05.
This bike rocks!

[hallzee]

Jeff,

Impressive history.

I can understand one clutch (leaking seal/slave), but, two? Was the second worn or contaminated?

I hope to keep mine for at least as many miles (only 60K on my 05). I've already drilled my slave and clutch housing tell-tales.

Thanks,

Joe

[ironbuttwannabe]

I'll jump in here since it resurrected.

1995 K1100LT 98,500 not one problem (about 70k mine)

2000 with 39,500 only 8k miles are mine.

All of my miles are fun miles, I don't get to drive to work :(

[dmatson]

I had hoped to have at least 36K when the warranty ran out in Dec 07' but I have hardly ridden it since last June when I started to remodel the house so it's got 24,450 on it. This summer it's going to get a work out (I hope!).

[LT_Pilot]

Purchased new, 08/2001.
83,000 miles

[K1200KING]

76,000 on a 2000.

Joe,
The first was contaminated by a leaking slave and or transmission input shaft, the main seal was relaced as a precaution. The second clutch was contaminated by a leaking main seal and I replaced the clutch slave as a precaution. I just ride it til it breaks and do my best get it back on the road.

[OU812]

02' with 3400 miles. Bought it last fall with 1200. I did put 2200 miles on in 4 days. The most I ever rode (in 4 days). Could never do that on my RR. ;)

[cmattingly]

I bought my 1999 K1200LT in April of '06 with 24,500 miles on it. It now has 42,222. I'm trying to catch up.

[motorhead]

@ 40K in 4 seasons owning it.

Best part is the LACK of a bike payment, and MANY MANY more years of the same. Love it !!

[dandiver]

35,000 miles on an 02. Bought it new with exactly 1,006 on the clock. No trouble and still has the new bike smell.

[bikermick]

Hi biker mick from UK. 2000 mode canyon red 34k new gearbox @final drive . still the best bike to ride

[NRuest]

Purchase my 2000 last year 08/07 with 38K and I am now at 44k. She runs and looks great. Replaced the brake lines with Spielers and repaired a broken shift linkage. About to change out the rear rotor. But I love this bike. I ride it to work most days (40 miles each way). Perfect time of the year.

[spinedr]

Jan 2007, 2007 LT 14000 happy miles and waiting for the %$@### snow to melt :soapbox:

[waycoa]

When i got home from a short Hwy 1 ride...showing 50004. Will put a few more miles on tomorrow.

[UKTzero]

102,871 miles on my 1999 Pacific Blue LTC

original final drive -- brakes, tires, tune up/fluids and new shocks are the only things that have ever needed to be done to it (although the ABS lights are blinking)

nice to see a few other people with high mileage on their LT's ... this is my first BMW and so far I love it ... I'm really happy I decided to go with this LT rather than a Goldwing

[quattro]

Purchase as new last June. Only 6000kms/3800mls I hadn't enough time to ride. But coming summer chances everything. Planning to drive 16-18Kkms/10-11Kmls :p

[wcarter]

Recently turned 48,000 on '99 model, but had 30,000 on the clock when I purchased in May 2004. Has it really been four years?

This thread is "so" BMW rider-eque. I smile when I'm around "bikers" who brag about how little miles are on their "lifestyle accessories". They're investments, of course, so you can't actually RIDE them.
