VFR Longevity--- your odometer

OK riders..... Just how durable are these motors? I sold my first 1986 VFR750F when it had 55,000 on it and it was pristine.

I just picked up a 1986 VFR700 now with 14,000. Who wins with the highest mileage on the odometer? :strong:

 

i've got a 2000 with about 11k miles.

 

my '88 750 has just clicked over 65,000 miles. got the servicing tickets to prove it. still going strong!

 

Wait a minute

Location: London 65,000 miles? Before I designate you as the longevity leader.... want to make sure that those are not K's (clicks)..:smile:
Just kidding. That is some decent distance. Keep on riding.

I ran into a '98 VFR that had 79K miles and still ran great. The owner said that he didn't have to do any major work, just an occassional valve adjustment.

 

one has 87k, my other has 4,285, both are 1986 VFR700F's

 

in reply: all i've done since i've owned the bike is regular oil changes every 5000 miles, valve checks every 20,000 and general care and attention. these bikes go forever!

 

'00 VFR with 78,107 miles. Lots of tlc (regular maintenance) and runs great.

 

Mine doesn't have high mileage, only 11K.

Ask ANY Honda technician & they will tell you that VFR motors are pretty much the most bullet proof one ever installed into a Honda motorcycle. When I lived in Germany, I knew a guy with a 94 that had 275000 KM's on it.

KC-10 FE out...
lane: :usa2:

 

Does anybody have any 83-85 VF's with high mileage?

With the guys I've talked to, many 1st gen VF's didn't go very far without that oil modification.

Until I met a gentleman at Autozone with an 85" VF750 with 23k on the clock.
So I asked him, "since you have such low miles, how come you don't have the oil modification?"

He responded, "low mileage...... *laughing* ....... my friend, my bike has rolled the odo over without that oil modd".

I stood there in amazement!

I hope to meet him someday again....

 

I have an 84' 500 with just under 44,000 on the clock.

 

A good friend of mine here in Western PA and one of the VFR email listers has over 100K mi. on his 4th. gen.

 

I only have 10087 on my 1995. Might not be the most but might be in the running for the least amount of miles for the year. arty2: :first: Till I get bucked off.

 

OOOPs.. :sorry: did not see frodus' second bike with 4k...:spankme:.....
:second: maybe??

 

I have an 06 with 14000 miles.
But I heerd tell of some guy that put 425,000 clicks on one before he replaced the engine and put another 400000,k replaced the engine a third time got 250,000 on that one. I think he bought a new one after that. ran some kind of hotshot messenger service down under. I think that's over a million clicks on the frame. Do not know if this is true but it might be.
I had 42000mi on my 86 before I replaced her she was still running strong if she hadn't briken an engine mount casting. I would still be ridin her.

 

Not quite right but almost right. He did not replays the engine the second time, He bought a new bike. :smile: I read an article (can´t find it again.) about this guy and he is incredible. He have had many bikes and most of them have hit over 100k miles.

 

The 94 that i just picked up has 8,892 miles on it.But after hearing of all the high mileage ones out there i think i can just ride the crap outta mine when its finished and have nothing to worry about.

 

My VFR750 has a hair over 60,000 MILES on it. Pics if you need proof when I get home. Title even backs it up.

 

my 2000 still has under 10k
