Known world rider Helge Pedersen had his airhead GS over 400 000 kilometres too, but dunno how many engine rebuilds he had done.

Anyone have to add more high mileage GSes here?

Mo, wonders if there's 500+K mileage GS out there(?) Seeking another spirit of the boxer conception (not counting ultra high mileage GoldWings)

Mo Tech, I like the question...

You aint seen it, its on the internet. The highest I have SEEN is 140000 KM here in Belgium...

The guy was very happy and he'd only changed the rocker covers as the originals were ferked...

I think that only Vern in the UK has a higher mileage....

At least for a member of this Forum...

Ouch, sure it was 11GS? That means if it was the first 11GS, 1994, then that dude had to ride every year about 70 000 kilometres - that's a very hardcore rider, but possible indeed - there's lot of GS world riders out there consuming the money got by sold house and company!

It's just 180 kilometres per day afterall

There was a white R100(?)GS outside Hein Gericke, Newcastle, at the back end of last year, with 95,000 miles on the clock. Covered in stickers from every country ever discovered, and looked like it'd never been washed once. It looked fantastic, of course I'd left my camera at home.
