Aside from the starter connector corroding (easily sorted) she has been 100% reliable in almost 4 years of ownership and a trip around Europe. I fancied a change though, and have always wanted a GS. :)

I will have some bits for sale if anyone is interested. I have a Givi Monokey rack and top box, a Kriega R25 rucksack and am thinking about whether to sell the Blueflame carbon pipes separately and refit the standard pipes.

I will be sad to see the VTR go, but I can't afford to keep two bikes.

hi there,
sorry to contact you in this unconventional way.
as i am new forum member i cannot post on sales and wants.
i have just purchased an old VTR and am after a grab rail and noticed you have one up for grabs (bad pun).
do you still have it, i can certainly give a few quid for it.
many thanks,
mat.

Mat,
Let me check my cave when I'm back at the weekend. Can't remember if I still have the rack. I know I have a scrapped box.
It's a bit hand painted so will fit in with your stead.

That's very good of you.
Let me know if you find it.
Many thanks,
Mat..
