It has been a while since I have seen a inquiry as to how many miles the Uly's have gone.

My '06 is at 35,000 and hanging due to a long, cold, crappy winter. The weather the past few winters would have had it over 40,000. But what the heck, I haven't had any where to go anyway. Stupid slow economy!

I'm with you Vern...still holding around 35,000 on my 2006. But we have had a very mild winter here in Colorado...so my excuse is how much time I have been putting into building a house! I will have to do some making up this summer.

40,000 on my 2006. Coaching soccer for my daughter's team has really put a damper on riding time.

8k on the '06 Uly I had.

8k on my '08 Uly since August. Been spending most of my winter riding time on the dualsport bike. Keeping the adventure sportbike for drier, less road salted miles. NUTS

Almost 20K on my 06. Would be a few more but have supplemented my riding with a Bmw G650X. Why didnt Buell go ahead with their dirt concept? Forced me to get another brand!

I worship you guys with high mileage on 06's. I've got about 13,000 on my '06 (bought in 2006) and mine even survived a massive deer crash. I LOVE the bike. I also ride a very tempting Harley-Davidson, which has quite a few miles on it, so I add the two together. I'll be commuting more during better weather this year...

I only have about 18,000 on my '06. Lately I don't have time to take any long rides, so all my rides have been short half hour stuff. And for that, because the roads around here are so boring, I usually just grab the KLX and head into the woods. I ride the Uly every day to school, but it's only a 15-mile round trip, so that sure doesn't rack up any miles!

i have 23k + on my 06. would have a few more but almost totaled it with 8k. rebuilt, including new frame and worked great since. 3 track days, mountain riding, and everything in between, including hitting a deer last Mo. killed the deer and had hair jammed between the front tire and rim so tight i couldn't pull it out. didn't crash and no apparent damage to the bike. we continued on for 2oo miles after that. a whole herd crossed in front of me. if I'd been in a car would probably have got 3-4 and major damage to the car. but at least i could have taken home some deer steaks.

33k on mine, I need to ride more.

Lost a belt at just under 30k, but I am riding aggressively, did off roading, and lack belt guards.

Well, my '06 had 55,600 miles when it met its untimely end.

Starting over at 10,000+ miles. Sigh.

I did change my belt at approx 30k due to it being stretched and getting ready to leave on a 5k trip. Still keep it as a spare cause it is easy to put on.

I have over 12000 miles so far on my 08 uly.
I bought mine in april 08. I love living in sunny fla! IT's my p/u truck. The other day I had to make some repairs to fence I built for a customer so I loaded up my chipping hammer,saws-all,bag of concrete on the Uly and headed out you should see the look on peoples faces when they see me pull up!
I just tell them "its the newest f150!

I had a new belt and rear wheel bearings put on around 30k (I think) just to be safe.
