    Saw a red (2005) 6th Gen in Davenport, IA on 10/12 about 5:30 PM. He & passenger were on Kimberly Road turning south on Jersey Ridge Road. He was stopped, I stopped in the go straight lane. Yelled nice Viffer to him, he replied the same. His light turned green, away he & passenger went. Too hungry to chase him down.

    Saw a red VFR in Edmond, OK 12 noon today at the intersection of Edmond Rd. (2nd St.) and Kelly. Not sure of the year or gen, late 90s maybe early 2000s? I can't tell the age of anything after the 2nd gen when they're at speed and I'm driving the other way.

    That's the 09 and widely available here in Canada and just about everywhere other than the USA I think.

    Maybe not common. I should have said readily available to order new I guess. Can't say I have seen a lot of them either. 2009 probably was not a great year for sales with the recession and all.

    I was riding south on Highway 1 in Fredericksburg, VA, (Four Mile Fork) today & spotted a familiar red rear end (5th gen) ahead. I sped up & came alongside & exchanged a wave, then he accelerated & crossed 2 lanes of to turn right onto Spotsylvania Blvd, never to be seen again. First viffer I've seen around F'burg; anyone here?

    Yesterday on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Mt. Pisgah. I met a silver 6th gen riding with 3 or 4 touring bikes( I was heading east and he was heading west). Then a little later I was heading west back down the mountain and met a red 5th gen who was heading east.

    C'mon Corkey. You need to go and do some introduction thread or something first. You really expect us to believe you got a VFR just because your info in your profile says so? There are plenty of posers out there.

    Welcome aboard.

    I see the same old semi beat up (or well worn) red 5th gen on the 405 north bound headed towards the 22fwy. I've seen him at least a dozen times usually passing through in the carpool like clockwork around 518pm each day.

    a friend invited me to ride with her group yesterday, pulled into the meeting place and saw a 2008 Grey one with hard bags. The guy was very excited to see another VFR. We took photo's of them together at the Tilted Kilt in East Brunswick, NJ.
