Yeah Slammer, not to change topics too much, but anything major needed to be done in those 99k miles? I know Honda says all their engines are 100k motors, and I plan on running mine until then at least, but was just wondering what I can expect...if anything.

I know back when my father rode alot of miles (about 25k a year), he always rode Yamaha Maxims in the mid 80's. He'd buy em used, and easily run them up to 100k no problem, but then something funny or major would come up and he'd buy another one. Just curious if theres anything to expect with ours. I'd love to hear some high mileage stories.

2000 with 57K.

I just rode 5,000 miles in a week after just changing the oil. I had no problems whatsoever. Man, I love my VFR.

Thanks for posting this poll. I love to see the reports about all the high mileage VFRs.

Just turning 30,000 miles. I had the valves checked in the Fall before this tough Winter began and the valves were in spec.

I haven't had any problems with my '03 (knock on wood).

I put 24,000km (15,000miles) on my 07 in 5 short months last year, planning on that and more this year, winter really sucks :pissed:

I know a local guy to me with a 5th gen that has over 220,000km (137,500 miles) on his. Like honda car engines the bikes go for ever as well

I have an 86 with 46,000 miles on it. I did have the engine rebuilt at 40,000 miles because when I purchased with 38K it was smoking and needed new rings. Magellan did a great job and now it runs like new.

07 RWB, 12,000 miles in 10 months. Lots of commuting, occasional twisties... sigh... On the up side I probably ride 300+ days a year!

34,000 miles in under two years. No commuting, almost all twisties.
