Title: One month shy of two years old.

Pay no attention to the red warning light; the sidestand was down.  16,000 miles and still going strong!

Second front tire, third rear but only because my second rear got a puncture.  I replaced the stock Pirellis with a set of Dunlop GPR300s and so far I'm loving them.

My 16 DSR is less then 200 miles shy of 50k miles.
I’m the second owner picking it up about 10 months old with less then 3k miles on the clock. 
The plan is to continue commuting with it for the next four years so I’m halfway to my anticipated 100k miles on it (as a commuter).

I hear ya.  Before the pandemic hit I was putting roughly forty miles a day five days a week on my S.  Since the pandemic hit and "Work From Home" I hardly ride it at all during the week.  It only gets charged on weekends now.  I have been taking MUCH longer weekend trips thanks to having the Charge Tank installed late last year and the large number of L2 stations around here.  I've done three two-hundred mile days so far... but that doesn't make up for all the lost mileage from commuting.

I do have to remember to use my gas bikes at least once a month to keep them lubricated and running but with nowhere really to go the Zero has been my primary mode of transportation.

My employer has reduced my schedule by approx 1/3 so that will slow down my dsr's odometer a bit until the pandemic resides.

I have an 03 BMW 1150RT that I use ONLY when I have too.
At nearly 150k (miles), it’s a bit rickety and archaic compared to the Zero.

Not bad.  My K1200LT is 21 years old now and I use it primarily for vacations.  Other than a 400 mile round trip run for ice cream (ANY excuse for a ride these days) I've hardly touched it this year.  It's sitting in the garage with 212,000 miles on the odometer.

Shows you how long it's been since I've looked at the K1200LT but I'm getting it ready to head to Indianapolis this week and the odometer actually has a little over 220,000 miles.  Dropped off the Zero at the dealership as the warranty expires at the end of this month and I really want them to run the diagnostics with Zero on the OBC while it is still covered by the warranty.  Fingers crossed that everything is fine (it hasn't glitched out for several weeks now but I remain nervous).

I recently changed all the tires on both my Zeros. They average around 10K miles. A little less for the front and a little more for the rear, on both the SR & DS.

I did NOT change the drive belts. I only  carefully checked them. I will change the belts at 20K miles at the next rear tire change, if they still look good or not.
