very high mileage VFR for sale on CL !!!

1997 VFR 750F
Its not mine. I though its interesting to share due to the 170K miles

 

That is some serious mile put on that puppy.

 

Wow,mine is around 1%. I am glad to hear that the VFR is a solid bike

 

I am thinking about buying it and see if i can ride that till it quits. I'd have to make some room in the garage first though.

 

Get it. If it was local to me, I would be all over it.

 

Wow that is a lot of riding. I'm surprised it doesn't have any sort of touring eq't installed with that kind of mileage. It's also funny that the fella claims to be an ex-racer but he has huge chicken strips on that back tire,,,,,hmmmmm. Well it looks clean and as long as the engine isn't making strange noises, how can you go wrong? I'd offer him $1200 as an opener.

 

I'm nearly 1/3 there, just turned 56k miles last month. Good to know she should still be running 115k miles from now :redface:

 

as long as you keep up with the maintenance, these seem to run forever.....

 

I am 55k miles the 1994 and 26k on the '96.
Being an ex-racer and having big chicken strips isn't necessarily mutually exclusive. He could have used one bike for mostly freeway commuting. I know a few guys who are pretty good racers, but rides real easy on the street. Also the pictures can be really deceiving; if the bike was just rolled thru a dusty garage or driveway before pictured it can look like massive chicken strips/squared tire in picture.

 

My first street bike was a new 84 750 Interceptor and had over 200,000 miles on it. When I finally let her go 2nd gear was heading south but the engine ran great still---changed the oil every 3000 miles, I guess helps huh ?

 

I wanta see the speed-O not that it doesn't have it. not very many around that can claim this. sure is clean. Hmm ................just might have to call on this one.

 

I could be wrong because I don't own a 4th gen vfr, but could it be that it just has 17,000. Isnt that last zero a tenth of a mile, If that bike had 170,000 you would see much more wear on the outside.

 

The odometer doesn't have tenths. The trip does. if it is 17k miles, that's hell of deal for CA prices.
