they're all robbing bar stewards, hang the lot of them, i bet they ride il4's aswell

I ride an IL4.. Glad I don't live near you!

Don't know anyone who knows much about them, I'll probably go with my dad as he has a greater wider knowledge of bikes and he can test ride it for me. All up to me to learn then

it was in coventry city centure just by the ring road and radford road . they do find them every few years around here when they decide to redevelop the area . Because redeveloping Cov will solve all its' many problems.. :L I dunno, I don't pay too much attention to Coventry considering the last ti...

This is true, it also depends if I get it from a dealer or private seller. I'll be more likely to purchase an older/well travelled bike from them than a random stranger who assures me it's in good condition. And yeah, I'm doing that now.. It's better than writing essays for A Levels, that much I can...

Yeah, I'm being rather optimistic and looking at 10-20k miles, that way a lot of the problems should have been solved.. Else I'm screwed and they'll break taking it home D: Colour isn't a huge concern, I'd like one that looks really nice.. Like yellow :P Although since I'll stick aftermarket fairing...

more hole than a used dart board . we got a few around here to , and they found a live one the other year in town when the were digging the foundations for a new build . I thought it was found in the back garden of an old lady or something? Or was that the Rugby adviser or whatever being as incorre...

Haha, depends if I can fit any of decent quality within my budget :P Can't find many black ones, let alone fairly cheaply :( check the sales section and put a wanted post up :thumbup: I've checked but the majority of the for sale ones just stopped being commented on ages ago and there isn't informa...

Just received an e-mail.. The seller sold the bike despite my deposit and them saying they'd keep it.. Should be getting the £50 back so it's all good.. :/ Bugger.

Oh okay, thanks. I'll have to ask if it's been done when I go to collect it then incase, s'always nice to save time and effort. Also, don't chinese fairings melt or something because they don't have the same protective covering from the heat? I found some really nice American ones but they say RVT r...

welcome to the forum virt, forks are soft, clutch jsn't really a problem unless your on the drag strip, deffo sort out the cct's, in about 4 months time we can expect to hear lots of sob stories, spring is a bad time of year for it, don't be one of them, also check out your r/r and make sure its th...

welcome to the waiting list for the club :thumbup: you clearly have good taste if you choose a yellow one, you can see the petty jelousy that it brings out in others who has to settle for something more bland Well my current bike is yellow, and some of my gear has yellow on it sooo.. Somewhat force...

Thanks, plenty of stuff to consider Just gotta hope I can find the money to do this sorta thing

The VTR is a reasonably good all round bike but there is no way you will get 10mpg I think I phrased it badly, I meant I lost 10mpg from my usual fuel economy, rather than actually getting 10mpg. Think I'd have to cruise at 15,000 Rpm constantly to get anything near that :L How much would the sprin...

Hmm, we'll see. I have no intentions to keep it plain and boring though, thinking of a nice Repsol Honda paint job to steal the thunder. I don't think it's possible to argue that that would be a slow colour
