New to me VTR1000 arrives tomorrow.
2001 stock bike. This is the third Firestorm I've owned. I've already sourced a replacement for the missing belly cowl.
The new bike joins my '92 900 Superlight (Seen in both sets of clothes), W650 which is now for sale, and my son's Varadero 125 learner bike.
And a rather special '98 MR2 fitted with 3.0V6 Quad Cam 24V motor.

Re: New to me VTR1000 arrives tomorrow.
love the superlight. my storm arrives week after next, i hope
Re: New to me VTR1000 arrives tomorrow.
My heart flutters when I hear of or see an MR2.
Nice JDM wheels on the car and both are classic Japanese icons.
Oh nice bike too.
I can see you're a car guy and do hope you're flogging the mid engine beauty around from time to time.
I'm a car guy as well with a suppressed bike guy now coming out with my Hawk/ Storm I purchased a few months back.
Just like my cars I can't keep them stock so the bike fell into the rabbit hole of aftermarket bits and my wallet followed along.
Nice ensemble you have there and similar and enjoy the new to you bike.

You should hear the V6. It sounds fantastic Superior to the original 4 cylinder twin cam 2.0.

Oh my.
Toyota doesn't make a V6 that I know of so what did you shoe horn in?
Sorry to be off topic in you're thread.
Re: New to me VTR1000 arrives tomorrow.
Toyota make several V6βs. Lexus is Toyotaβs luxury brand. The engine in my car came from a Lexus RX300 SUV hooked up to the MR2 5 speed gearbox retro fitted with a higher 5th gear. Original suspension has been replaced with fully adjustable BC BR coil overs.

Yeah I'm not an suv fan so those aren't on the radar including their v6 engines.RobVTwin wrote: βFri Oct 23, 2020 4:52 am Toyota make several V6βs. Lexus is Toyotaβs luxury brand.

She handles beautifully, but careful in the wet with the mid-engine configuration
