Re: How long have you owned your VTR?
On my 3rd one now
1st got in 2004 and had for 10 fabulous years until some merc prick got in the way
2nd was a gap filler that Magsport eventually gave some TLC to and moved on.
3rd is Jamie's stealth project which has been badly overlooked this year but is still a joy, if just a little cramped for my ever-growing statute.
Its funny to look at how many have these as their main bike and the number who now have more modern steeds but still retain one just for the joy they bring.

Re: How long have you owned your VTR?
Had 3 Storms over the years, got my first one in 1999, sold that, and got my second one in 2004, the third one in 2017.
Still got the later 2, that puts me on 21 years overall, still think they're a great bike, with a sound that puts a smile on your face everytime you twist the throttle

Re: How long have you owned your VTR?
Mine was 21mths old when I purchased it in January 2001 
So that means I have owned it for 19yrs and 8mths.
Hard to believe I've had the bike that long. Mind you I owned my Suzuki GS1000 for 20 years
I still love the low down grunt and sound from the big Vee twin, it never fails to put a smile on my face

That's why I love mine. It sounds, feels and goes like a proper bike. Not one of those ultra quite, ultra fast, whizzy things that have no soul.....,.,....but then I haven't ridden a whizzy thing

Re: How long have you owned your VTR?
Had mine from 2000 ... I bought it off a mate who bought it new in 98 from HGB in Ruislip
I remember going with him to look at it at the shop and being a bit jealous as it looked so good and was so different to my 93 cbr600

Been a Storm owner for just over a year now. My first V-twin bike in 30 years of riding. No regrets yet

Re: How long have you owned your VTR?
Owned mine for 3years before Mac added it to his collection.The longest I have ever kept a bike (ZZR 1100)was about 7 years.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN
Re: How long have you owned your VTR?
My first one Ole Red was 2006 that died in 2013 another 13 since then...
I supose Nue Red is my longest kept as I got that in 2013, so 7 years same as Ole Red...I hope thats not an omen...

Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
Re: How long have you owned your VTR?
I'll make a space in the garden for it, just in case......
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
