A lot ..... I put just over 10 000km on mine last year and I had a Honda CTX200 as my other bike and then a Kawasaki KLE500 since November.

However, during the year I also had a Hyosung GT250, Kawsaki 250 Ninja, Triumph Bonneville, Kawasaki ER6F, Kawasaki Versys, Yamaha FZ6R for a week each.

I reckon my total mileage on 2-wheels was somewhere close to 25 000km.

Every day that I can for going to work.  
Today would have been perfect.
Just a few more weeks, and I'll get to see how successful I am at Phoenix-building.

Crikey - how do you have access to such machinery!??

That's what I call a high quality problem choosing what to ride. ;)

i like to use my f650 for commuting since it gets good mileage and is easier to wheel out of the garage in the morning.

the r65 gets used for some commuting, but mostly for weekend rides and longer trips.  it's more comfortable than the f650, and with the bigger tank has further range.  the hard bags are cavernous, and i can easily get a week's worth of clothing and stuff on the bike with my wolfman beta bag.

the dr200 gets exercised on slow, dirt road sight-seeing rides, and the occasional back-road commute.
