How many miles on your VFR?

I know of a guy who runs synthetic and changes his oil after 2,000 miles

 

bought my 06 in March of 2006 I ride year round and have 17000 miles on her. my 86 VFR700 had 76000 on her before she was retired

 

Correction make that 550

 

I notice in your post that you have mirror extenders. I find that I have trouble with getting a good angle on my mirrors. Where did you get the extenders? How well do they work?

 

Nearing 19K on an 86 700, sweet find.

 

I have only 8000 miles on my 2002 (no laughing and pointing, I've been busy)

 

95 with 41,000 on her. She is just begging to be ridden more. Wish the wife would beg like Old Faithfull. ( My Viffer )

 

'02 with about 26,000 km's, 1800 of witch I've put on this spring! I love this bike.

98 with I bought spring of 06 with 12,000 on the clock. Now has 25,000 and counting.

 

17,754 miles as of today (same as October 30th, 2007 - the last ride I had... ).

That's ~1,479 miles a year. I purchased the bike on April 24, 2007 with 15,050 miles. So at least I'm beating the average!!!:biggrin:

I plan on owning and riding this bike forever.:wink:

 

1016 miles since a few minutes ago...and I've only owned it for one month.

 

1,006 as of today

 

Well,the weather here finally has let up so I got 'er on the road during the weekend and I plan to rack up as many miles as possible this season!!!!!
Anythig less than 10,000 clikcs will be un-acceptable!


P.S. This is the first time I have had it out since gutting the pipes and man,it sounds good....sounds pissed-off and mean when cruising around town especially when down-shifting...at cruising speeds it sounds un-obtrusive and mellow.
Cant tell if it's got more power as it has been almost 6 months since my last ride.

Happy riding everybody!!!:rockon:

 

How many miles???

I bought her last year with 38,000 miles, and she has 41,000 and change. I love the bike. Still runs like a top!

 

My 94 VFR750 has 52,000 on it. I bought it in '04 with 32k on it from a friend of mine who wanted it gone NOW!! He had tried to sell it a few times on CL and had no offers or calls and was needing the room in the garage for a Porsche race car.

I paid $500 for it per his initial offer. Flawless. TBR high mount pipe, RKA saddlebags, tinted shield, half tank bra, cowl, corbin, bike cover, throttlemeisters...he was the original owner. I have added nothing to it except tires, pads, oil & filter since then. Out of all the bikes I have/have owned, this bike is by far the easiest/cheapest to own. I turn the key, it runs. No drama, no issues, nothing. Typical Honda. Love it. Have not had problem #1 on this thing, where my other bikes have, from time to time, been a giant PITA to own.

I commute by bike here in CA 50-51 weeks per year, between 50 and 125 miles per day, but I spread it amongst 4 bikes. Pretty much once a month or so something needs an oil/filter change, and it seems I always have UPS dropping off tires here, and there's always a chain that needs lubed, or sprockets that need swapped, or pads that need to be changed, or something.

I remember chatting with a few bike messengers in London with the same model who have over 125k on their bikes, same engine. There's a guy/lister near me in So Cal that has a 94 version with 104,000 on his last I heard. He does over 100 miles per day as well, IIRC.

 

Just shy of 7k on my 2006. I got it in January 09 with 2k on the clock. Though I was splitting my time between the VFR and the SV. Now that the SV is gone, I forsee many many more miles on the Honda.

 

huh...when I bought my 86 it had 65+ thousand miles....now the speedo says 23 thousand.......

 

$500 ???? That is sooooo cool

 

40,800 mi. on my '04 as of Mon. night.

Bought from original owner in 8/06 w/4200 mi. on it, so over 36k added in ~40 months.
