Mine has 193000 km on the clck (1996 R80GS - 1996).

I have seen a K100 wich have passed 1.000.000 km but I'm sure it's not a record of any type.

So just to upset the applecart a tinsey bit although it's not particularly high miles but it saves the thread being for BMW's only - my Yamaha TRX had 85,000 miles (136,000 km) on it when I sold it.
Of course I wish I'd kept it now.

High mileage
I own a BMW that was a police bike and when I bought it ,the bike was already 150000KM, after riding across Europe and Africa the baby is now 245000.I hope to that much with my 1200 GS did I mention that the bike never let me down on the side of the road, could that be because of that type of mileage that BMW have a fairly great reputation.My KLR had 80000 whenI sold it with almost a perfect record of reliablity ,pretty good for low price bike .
