The young often make rash decisions without the experience or wisdom neccessary to choose the right option and end up regretting it not long into the future. The more experienced, meanwhile, draw upon their wisdom and make choices that they need not regret. I find this to be doubly true in regards to vehicles (the amount of flashy, ruined Civics out there are testament to this). Yeah I noticed the same thing and it's on the opposite end too since it tops out at 79 - I guess when you hit 80 you're required to hand over your VFR keys? I fell into the 40 - 49 category but I hope I can still ride when I'm 80! Good for you in trying to learn from your elders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Well my 2016 8th gen was my 50th birthday present from my wife. My first VFR, but my 3rd Honda. You read correctly. It's the legendary, mythical, fabled WAMP! (Wife Approved Motorcycle Purchase) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVFR Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Well H, I was only 30 when the VFR first came out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 At 19 years old I am a young Padawan, learning about the ancient(early gen) VFR order. You may think that I am falling on to the dark side if you've seen my custom build, but I assure you that I still see the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsRN98 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Pushing 49 pretty hard, and amused to find myself on a bike again. Very much enjoying my '00 VFR, though--now that I've replaced the stator (22,311 miles, but age can be a factor, too), R/R and charging path, and installed a BrakeAway......Next projects: Voltmeter install, new tires, PCIII, cosmetic fixes.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkrob175 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 This will be my first actual post! However i've been coming to this web site for a couple of years to get info on repairs! Purchased a 2004 VFR800 2 years ago with only 2424 miles, (true story) best part only gave $3100 bucks for it. Just clicked of 26876 miles yesterday while frying another Stator! :( As for my age....i've been riding sport bikes for 35 years (Body) as for the (mind) well, I have a 2015 Triumph Daytona 675R for trackday excursions, maybe do 6,7,8 of the a year. Funny thing is if I search through a web browser I can find info on this site, but if I log in, well lets just say I end up writing a totally useless intro.

I had picked up a '97 with under 6K on it back on 2007. Not mint but close enough for government work. Picked it up for something like $3000, put another few hundred into it and got a lot of enjoyment out of it before it was senselessly slaughtered by the pilot of a U-Haul in 2014. It had an "interesting" back story. But it worked out well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2thdr Posted April 24, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted April 24, 2017 I am 55 and 5/6ths as Terry put it, and just returned to the VFR fold last month after about a four year hiatus exploring my naked and ADV sides. My first one was a 6th gen 2004 model. Now I have a 2007.Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chowtoo Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm 62. I'm in great shape, as confirmed every time I look in the mirror ......of course, my eyes aren't so good, especially without my glasses when everything is just a big blur. Got my first 2014 VFR800 last year in white. Liked it so much that I got a second 2014 in red this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
