Member Contributer snoman181 Posted June 16, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted June 16, 2008 Where's the "low mileage" thread? I searched, but didn't find it. LOL My '07 has 1600km on it. (1000 miles) To be fair, I only had it for about a month last year before winter set in. Summer's just beginning here in the Great White North. Let the fun begin.

Member Contributer VFRbeliever Posted June 16, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted June 16, 2008 Only 11,000 on mine. I can only commute during the summer. I work at a school, and bring my two teenage daughters with me every day. Three-up doesn't work too well, especially in the winter time. On top of that, my commute is exactly 1.3 miles. Magically, somehow my summer commute transforms into 10-20 miles. Funny how that happens. :fing02: The only real mileage I can put on it is the occasional all-day or weekend trips. I wish I had more time to ride, but I guess I'm content with the balance in life right now. Someday I'll do a cross country trip, I'm sure of that. ~Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Nixx Posted June 16, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted June 16, 2008 Where's the "low mileage" thread? I searched, but didn't find it. LOL When I was at my local shop setting up my harness recall work this spring this guy walks in, I swear he looks just like Homer's neighbor Ned Flanders wearing leather chaps over his jeans and the little leather cruiser vest, fingerless leather gloves. "What can we do for you" "I need to do my first service, I'm a little late tho, 900 miles." "Great, did you buy it new from us? "Yeeup" "What model? Year?" "Shadow, '99" After he finished getting all the info the guy hurries out the door and hops in the baby blue Prius his wife has waiting for him out the shop door. Shop guy sees my look of shock and says "Takes all kinds, this really isn't that uncommon." Edit - Almost forgot: me = 02, 30k+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted June 21, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted June 21, 2008 My 98 has about 47K. Was a committed canyon, mountain back road blaster. Now a lowly lane splittin' commuter. :warranty: Damn gas prices. Got to get a Prius and rededicate the Interceptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman11 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 my 1990 vfr has only 3,661 miles on it!!! :biggrin: Oh wait, it hasn't run since 1992. But hope is on the horizon. It should be running by the end of summer so it may be ridable come next spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris71mach1 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 46000 miles on the clock so far, but i ride this bike more than i drive my truck (at least when she's running right and the weather isnt horrid). vfr's really are great commuter bikes, even the old 1st gens :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinith Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 98 bought with 14,450 in June, has 18,xxx on it now. It's in almost showroom condition, and the 2nd owner averaged 150 miles a year for 3 years....it's definitely been babied. I'm looking forward to adding 100,000+ miles to it in the next few years.

E-Ticket Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 1999 VFR 800Fi. Original owner. Just turned over 32,000 miles Longest sequential trip was 7,000 miles over 6 weeks. Was way fun. <grin> Had to adjust the valves, and replaced the dreaded rectifier one time .... and that's it for problems! Verrah fun and reliable scoot - best streetbike I have ever owned. I like it so much that I spent some serious coin delinking the brakes, upgrading the forks, and installing a Penkse shock. Why? Because I can't find a better bike out there that fits my needs and riding style so well. I love my "Big Red" ....! Cheers! E-Ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
