    You've seen it before on Craigslist. VFR for Sale. "These motors last forever!" Most I see for sale are under 30K. Highest I've seen is 70K. But really, what's your's so I can brag about it with numbers to back it up?

    I bought my 2003 about 2 months ago with 18,400 miles. Oil change, tires, coolant, air filter, chain and sprockets... now just shy of the 20,000 mark.

    I bought it three days ago, and had to work two of those days. Can't wait to add a couple zeros to that number!

    I'm at almost 5 years and 34,000 miles with my 05 and plan to run her well over 100k. I'm in no rush to replace her, at least not until Honda comes to it's senses with the Gen 8VFR and I've saved up the money to pay cash down...

    38,300 km on my 99. Bought it used in May with 34,000 on it. Not bad for a wet, cool summer!
    My Black 98 had 46,000 km on it before the frame was broken in a rear end collision.

    Got just under 100 miles till I hit 50K on my 2002 VFR. Absolutly NO problems. This bike should have a LOT more miles on it but I've riden much less over the past couple of years due to grad school. I've had 1 valve check at around 32000 miles and all valves except 1 were within spec.

    VFRMike.
