Kermit's For Sale again

Post by flak monkey »

£1800

I'm sure you're all aware of this bike... I acquired it earlier this year and have had quite a bit of fun on it over the summer. Though nowhere near as much as I should have done for a number of reasons.

The only reason I'm selling up is that I'm just not using it and it seems a massive shame that it's sitting there in my workshop. I've had quite a lot going on in my life just recently which has been both emotionally and financially draining, so I just can't warrant keeping a bike at the moment.

Since owning it I've fitted high level carbon cans and done a few little jobs here and there. But really it was a completely sorted bike, and still is. In the same condition as when I bought it!

It''s got to be one of the best VTR's out there at the moment... This really is a great looking bike and I always get great comments about it .

52 plate (late registration early model)
2 owners
46k ish on the clock,
It had an engine change due to cam chain tensioner failing and the replacement engine has 17k less than the bike ,
Original sales receipt and gold card from Honda and some history ,
The owners book is there too ,
V5 present and all details correct

MOT till February 2016

Fully serviced 6 months ago - done <2k miles since.
Oil,oil filter, plugs,air filter,
And valve clearance check ,brake and clutch fluid change,
All bearings were changed late 2014 , swing arm,linkages,wheels ,head race,forks were serviced last year too, all brake calipers were services too.
Tyres (pilot road 2s) and brake pads and chain & sprockets are all good .
it had a new bigger amp battery in February .

929 blade front end including brakes with Armstrong wavy discs
Updated fork internals with linear springs
Carbon front mud guard

Here's some of the photos from the original advert by Lloydie - only difference is the cans and the sticker is gone from the front.
