OK, so not mileage related, and not a long time compared to many of you, but I just passed 3 years of riding my ST1100 this weekend. It was 3 years ago I bought a rough "multi-part" barn find and did a refurbishment to get it back on the road. Best bike I've ever owned! :) The paint and seat are getting long in the tooth, but I have vinyl to work on a new cover for it, and 3M vinyl wrap to spruce up the painted panels. Otherwise, it starts every day, doesn't need a lot of maintenance and is still a hoot to ride. Oh, and about 35,000 miles I've added to it so far.

Here's a link to the "as found" condition! 8o https://www.st-owners.com/forums/index.php?media/img542.168070/

Well done and 35000 over three years is some miles.
Had mine just over 4 and I think I've put on about 20000.
Like Pete said, they're good bikes.
Keep on enjoying it, I know I intend to.
Upt'North.

Congratulations.
I've had my 97 for three years and I'm near the 35k miles point too. Just did a long trip from PEI to Ontario this past weekend. Great bike.
