How many older guys ride VFR?

That is a good way of putting it.

I'm 61, still ride my VFR and my CBR125R, yayyy.

 

61 me self. On an eight gen now. Was 60 when I got a fifth gen. Way back, owned the first gen vf750 in 1984.

 

56 years and ride an 86 RWB and 2004.

 

Very nice indeed.
May be the angle but your passenger handles look like there set back a bit on the 6 gen..

 

Nice looking bikes. Have they ever been ridden?

 

So, your first mistake was letting her think she was in charge of deciding "what is too old". 2nd mistake was in not telling her to Foxtrot Oscar when she voiced unappreciated opinion about age.
I have two 6th gen 07's. I actually bought the 2nd one for the wife as she liked riding two up on the first one so much. But she now prefers her NC700X.
Suggestion, buy mouthy wife her own bike.
BTW, I'm 62 and I also have to CBR1100XX's, and an ST-1300. I'll let you know when I'm too old for any of them.

 

The 86 has 40,000. I bought the 04 three weeks ago with 4200 miles on it. I put 1000 on it and taking it in for the harness recall this weekend. Took them 2 weeks to get the parts. After that is done I figure I will put around 4500 on it this summer plus I ride the dirtbike weekly.

 

No they are ok, must be the picture. I ordered a Corbin seat (4-5 week lead time) and I am getting the hard luggage.

 

Coming up on 60 this fall.... not riding as often as I should, but still love the VFR..

 

Getongp, remember if ya don't use it you loose. Mainly talking skills...get out and ride the sucker for what cha bought it for.
I know, just turned 60 myself and love every time I go out.
Therapy for the shit of life.

 

Hi Y'all! 53 here and ride my 98 viffer to work evryday when its 45+ temp outside! (over Verrazano bridge) LOL I just cant get enuf fun and freedom! Helibars help alot also too!

 

^used to love riding there :thumbsup: totally spectacular views and awsome roads. Gona be 51 this November, never look back.

 

I really don't see the point in trying to correlate age to the kind of motorcycle anyone rides. People have both accidental and "external" reasons pertaining to what they ride and other people just ride what they ride regardless of age. Age is just a number and mindset in too many cases to have a bearing on any conclusions drawn. I don't tell people my age for any reason because it seldom has any bearing on conclusions they are trying to draw from a number. And, it's none of their business most of the time.

 

LOL, 61 one and feeling it of late, but when I get on the VFR it all goes away, talk about great therapy.

 

Shite , your and old man J....do you use a walker ta get to the viffer?
Hey, like a fine wine RIGHT?

 

^ LOL I haven't tried one of those walker thingamajigs.... I use a Pit bull..... Fine wine..... Ok, I'm all about that.

 

I know this is an older thread but I will reply anyway!!otstir: I'm 47 and enjoying my Candy '07!

 

Find wine, gettin better with age brotha...just yanking your chain

 

I'm 40 years young, and my 06 VFR just makes me feel that much younger... Ya wife is a hater, she knows ya look too good on it as do all of us.

 

64 and on second Y2K VFR in Yellow. Sold the first one a few years ago. Have since retired and moved back to Ohio to help care for elderly parents. That experience convinced me to get another Y2K yellow VFR. As I get older I may start riding faster and without a helmet......
