Member Contributer Blesk Posted September 12, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted September 12, 2009 Got the '06 with 1,700 miles on it and started riding it at Thanksgiving last year. Just turned 24,000 miles. Should be over 30K for the first year of ownership come Turkey day '09. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 85k miles and counting, on a '00. Will add a couple more thou next week, taking a little ride to Oregon and NorCal for some twisty fun. I'm the 2nd owner, though it only had <2600 miles on it when I bought it in '01.

DL98VFR Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 42000 on my recently acquired 98- almost 9000 since August of 2009 and every one better than the last- but not as good as the next!!! Only problem has been two R/R replacements- first by previous owner @ approx 17k last by me @ approx 34k- at least she's been consistent so far! :beatdeadhorse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer rcbaker Posted April 4, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted April 4, 2010 65,000 km (about 40,000 mi) on mine - bought it new in 1994 and it has never missed a beat since. Now have a 5th gen as well - a '99 with only 7,500 miles on it. My 4th gen was getting soooo lonely in the garage during the winter months - I solved the problem by getting a cousin there for company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 49,687 miles. Still purrs like a kitten.. Until you hit about 6000-6500, then she screams : ) Gotta love that V4 sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer sckego Posted June 10, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted June 10, 2010 22,500 on mine, and she's only 14 months old. No problems so far, and I figure I'll have the valve check done next winter, probably around 35-40K. Just over a year later, she's now at 49K. Valve check was done at 32K (all in spec), and the only mechanical/electric failure thus far has been the stator burning out at 42K. One more year past, and she just clicked over 70k. Still no valve adjustments, though I am now on stator #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No valve adjust either! :laughing6-hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmythecop Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 28,000 on the ol yellow peril 10 months ago and there is now 36,000 on the peril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Just turned 50 K on my '00. I've almost always had another bike, including BMW touring bikes, so most of the riding has been local sport rides. Never a problem. I tried to sell it again this year, but buyers seem to think it's high mileage. Five k a year is high? So I guess I'm stuck with this beauty, and I know I'd miss it like hell if it ever went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samaki Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Let's not forget Stan, the UK motorcycle courier who, as reported in Bike Magazine (UK) May 2005, did 852,000 miles on his 90 VFR750. He replaced the engine at 440,000 miles after blowing a head gasket, and only replaced the bike when it was totalled at 852K. He rode about 600 miles per day. My 97 has 72,000 miles and seems to run better every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 2thdr Posted January 4, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted January 4, 2012 Bought my 2004 two years ago next month with 24k miles and now I have about 45k miles, so 21k put on by me. I have an ST1300 that gets most of the long distance and two up miles. I think the VFR runs better than when I got it...Helluva bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HzE Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have a 2002 VTEC. I bought her in 2009 with ~ 14,000 miles on her. Now after three summers she has ~37,000 miles. Should I dumb the bitch and switch for a newer speciment? I just wonder if I would get anything worth the difference if I would buy some newer 6th gen. Though she has been always behaving really nicely. Only time she left me on the road was because of a rotten battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
