Thanks very much, yours was looking good too.
Was trying to pick out as many storms as I could find, got talking to the ex serviceman on the varadero next to me.

Have a look on ebay for item number 400926866152

From a short distance it does look very clean, however the fairings are scratched, the paint on the frame and swinging arm is badly scratched and all the alloy is furry. Would never sell it either, wanted one as an apprentice when they came out and always had an eye for them. Sent from my SM-G850F u...

The thought of doing track days has been on my mind for most of the year, it's something I'd fancied doing for a long time but couldn't face the possibility of throwing the Vtr down the tarmac, it's too nice a bike for that.
