    Hi,

    My VFR800 2005 model and km is 70.000. I want to buy some parts on eBay but some people said "70.000km is too much, sell your motorcycle". What do you think about that?

    Yeah, tell em to get stuffed. That works out to 43496 miles here in Yankeeville and to quote a redneck, man, that ain't sheeit! You have a lot of life left in your bike as long as you maintain it.

    Earlier VFRs have been known to do approximately 400-450,000 MILES on one engine. Wish I had the article that one UK businessman was in.

    Do you like the bike? If the answer is no then sell it. If the answer is yes then keep it.

    I just hit 75000 on mine and have no plans to sell it, been putting on about 1000km's a week for the last month or so commuting with it just trying to get the most out of it before the snow starts flying...
    funny thing is that when I drive the car its about 120km both ways but the bike takes me on different roads and it seems to then take me 150km's or more. Funny how that works...
