Empty trailered to Virgina, bought from a pole barn, hauled to T-Mac where we found a rodent nest in the air box. (A pic was taken but I cannot find it). Too many upgrades to list but simply love this machine. That's impressive mileage for six years! I used to ride that much, and hope to again someday. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Bailey miles are never in moderation... 100K Bailey miles equals 300K normal miles... I gather you're still running 5w30 Mobil 1???

RC79NC001 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Last time I checked we're posting mileage...not talking directly about oil. There's a different post for that. Low mileage posts are welcome too ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hit this a couple weeks ago on my '04. Bought the bike from its first owner with 4,225 miles on it in August 2006. My goal for 2020 was to see this number on my VFR. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in some foreign currency you could get 80,000 something. Name of the bike is "First Wife" you being a sane smart person like you are, do you think I would ever, ever sell her? Let me answer for you, NOoO : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchlepRock Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I bought my NOS 2015 DLX on Wednesday. I'm very pleased that it appears I will get many (s)miles out of it for years to come with proper care. It's difficult to adequately express my level of excitement! I put 460 of those miles on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronden63 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Bought the bike in July with 10,700 and I now have 14,600. Back in the saddle after 22 years absence; this is my 4th VFR after two 700s and an '86 750 in red-white-blue (the prettiest, but less punchy than the 698cc!). Here's a surveillance photo, prowling around downtown Philadelphia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
