New member from Australia

Post by bingo808 »

Hello all,

On the weekend I purchased a 1999 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm. Bike has a fair number of kms - approx 119,000km (nearly 74,000 miles).

Overall the motor is quiet and bike starts easily. It's winter here now, but where I am (Newcastle NSW) temps rarely fall below 5degC overnight.

This is my 1st "big" bike. I've been a car driver in the past. My first bike was a 1981 Honda CB250 Superhawk. The CB250 nearly weighs in as much as the VTR!

I look forward to chatting with people about mechanical issues etc soon.

Jave.
Someone put it together, so I should be able to pull it apart.
