9500 km = 350
7500 km = 500
1200 km = Yamaha

I'll wait & see a while, but something in my gut says that unless you find one with over 20,000 KMs, you may be mistaken....

My dealer took in 2 Ranchers as trade in's last year............both had over 35,000 miles on them.
Both were farm/ranch quads.

The highest mileage machine I have ever seen was a Honda, but I thought he was referring to a machine owned by someone on this forum.

I agree the most mileage would probably be on an old 300 Honda (course they didn't have a speedo so?), might be a few old Big Bears out there to with a ton of miles.

I can tell you that I have put a TON of miles on my 300, but like you said, no odometre.  It is nothing for our group to put on 150 miles in a day and very often much more.
The thing is a '96 and it's been to *beep* and back and then back again and again and again.
Here's something you don't see often:

That was taken at my local Honda dealer's place by a riding buddy who works there. This is from a '05 500 Honda that is used at a peat moss operation, so it is used hard 24/7 (in mucky conditions and pulling heavy loads but not very high speeds) and put away wet! So, if Hondas are so great, why was it at the shop? It needed starter brushes, that's it!

I'm not a die-hard Honda guy. In fact, my favourite bike is my 500 Arctic Cat and my next bike will likely be a 650 Kawi, but that odometre on that Honday is pretty impressive, and for that matter so is my little 300 Honda.

That figures out to average over 20 KM/H, which is faster than I average with my Xplorer.
Either way, it DOES have an awful lot of miles on it.
My brother has an old 300 2wd with about 2300 hours on it. Since they have no odo, us farmers usually put in an hour meter to keep track of when oil changes are due.
My Uncle's 300 had somewhere close to 3000 hours on it before it finally died. I think it was on its 3rd starter. Can't beat those old 300s for being able to be driven and driven and driven.
