    How many miles or km do you guys have on your bikes?
    Some of you in nicer climates do a lot more riding than I do and I was wondering how much mileage you put on in a year and how many miles can a VFR click off before it dies???:rip:
    I have 27,000 km (16,777 mi) on mine and plan on putting on 100,000 km if possible.Is this do-able?
    Who has the highest mileage VFR out there and how's it run?
    Do most of you plan on running your bikes until they calf or do you put on "X" amount of miles and then plan to sell and replace???

    Just wonderin'....Cheers!!!:vtr2:

    I have 8000 miles on the clock, I got it on august 21st 2007 with 1800 miles on it.
    My boss has a 2000 vfr with 40,000 on the clock and he let me ride it to see the difference between the 2 and it ran excellent.
    Im not sure If I would rebuild my engine when it goes or buy a new bike. Depends where I am at the time

    Got my 96 with 15k on the clock in October last year. Yesterday there was just over 20k. Easily will put 10k on her this year.

    Read somewhere that a dude over in the UK has over 400,000 miles on a 3rd gen, and it's on it's second engine, and currently has over 400,000 on a cbr-xx something about he's into the express delivery biz.

    found these interesting while looking for him.

    2002 VFR with 40+K. I really thought I'd have more miles on it but things have been WAY too busy the past few years. My previous VFR (99) had 17+k in just 9 months before it was wrecked- but life was simple then and riding time was plenty.

    2005 VFR with 6500 miles on it right now. Purchased it in October of 2007 with 1004 miles on it. The way I'm going I'll probably put about 15k to 18k on it a year. I plan to have it till it won't run anymore or a newer and more exciting VFR somehow magically gets released by Honda. I may get another one for my wife when she outgrows her Ninja 250.

    98 VFR with 55k miles and counting... I do around 1000 a month. Hope to get it to 100,000 then we'll see form there.
