Hi to everyone,
New to the group and thinking of buying a VTR and selling my CBR600F2.
My question is.....why do some VTR’s come standard with grey/ silver wheels ?
Many thanks, great looking site.
Cheers
Romft

Greetings
Most came as standard with a metallic dark grey finish the same as the engine covers - if you see differently either the wheels are from diff bikes (5 spokes are popular) or they've been stripped and polished or repainted / powder coated.

Year 2000 (and possibly 2001) they came with silver wheels. earlier ones are dark grey, later ones are mostly gloss black, the gloss black was a better paint finish than the earlier ones where the paint was thin.
