Advice Needed

Post by Wildfire »

Hi Guys & Gals -

New member to the forum - I currently ride an FZR but I am looking to change to a VTR in the next few weeks hopefully !! :D
In fact going to look at one tomorrow - Any tips & things I need to look for apart from the usual death rattles / smoke etc would be much appreciated.

Well - Drove 120 miles to view it today, looked really clean 22k on the clock, FSH up to 20k.
I then took it for a spin........ :biggrin :biggrin :biggrin

The engine braking caught me out a bit but all I can say is OMG !!

Put a deposit down and am planning to collect in the next week or so !!

Now I'm on serious brownie point collecting at home :lol:

Well........The Deed is Done :lol:

Got a lift back down there today...paid me money and rode her the 120 miles back. Fortunately the rain had stopped and apart from a bit of spray it was a great ride, bike never missed a beat but she does need a wash now :!:
