    Not me. This is by far the highest mileage VFR I've heard of.
    A Harley road king is still the highest mileage bike I've ever seen, not heard of.

    I'm missing something here. Where do you get from that add that this bike has 199,000 miles? I have read it over and looked at the photos three times now and don't see anywhere that mileage is mentioned other than to say how long ago something or another was replaced.

    The ad says that it was edited 4 days after it's original posting. The owner may have removed mention of the mileage?

    I've seen a 6th with over 400k on the dial.

    For him to remove mileage must have meant he didn't get a bunch of calls, and thought it was the mileage keeping people away. I just don't think VFRs sell quickly in our market right now. I've seen some super sports be for sale for 6+ months. Everyone transitioned hard to the adventure / naked market here.

    Hey All, this my ad for the high mileage VFR. I did have the mileage in the ad at first but I was only getting a bunch of "surprised it has so many miles" and "is this a typo" replies so I removed the mileage but then got a bunch of replies asking for mileage so I have sense added it back. I'd rather be transparent and have less replies.

    The bike is in great condition for the mileage and runs amazing! I do have to say I get the funniest reactions and have better convo's about the mileage then any other bike I've owned.

    The bike does have 199,110 miles now (still riding it here and there to keep it fresh) and it's still for sale. Just reduced to $1,900. I can't think of another situation where you can have an opportunity to own a legend that creates conversations and is a blast to ride for $1900. I'm practically giving away a great time and many fun convos!

    Braap on!
    Greg

    I would be proud to have an odometer with 199K. One more little push to break 200:) Good luck with your sale.

    Exactly how I felt buying the bike. I was hoping to be the guy who made that push past 200K but unfortunately I ran out of time and space.

    At the rate I'm going, I will be 120 years old when I break 200K. I'm glad I have a bike that can get there though.

    Was that on the original motor ? If so, that's outstanding.
