your thoughts?

Hi all,

First post so hello. I currently have a kawasaki klv 1000 (vstrom 1000 really).I am thinking of changing to a vtr, i have always liked them but never quite bought one. but now might be the time . i have a couple of questions;

1. i am 6ft how comfortable is the vtr?
2. other than the cct any other issues?
3. how much gets me a tidy one?

Thanks.

you should have no problem at 6ft. should be able to lob it around np.
i cant reach the ground lol!

ccts, reg rec... nawt else really, maybe fork seals if its been wheelyed a lot (badly)
look in sales and wants before shopping around a a few respected members are selling up - you get a well maintained firestorm with all the mods and you can see the history of the bike yourself.

1500 - 2500 gets you a belter

Thanks for that, should i make sure the cct prob is fixed on any bike i get? is there a fix for the regulator ?
Probably looking towards 1600 to get the bike.
Now do you want to purchase a lovely, well maintained KLV 1000 ??

just buy a new reg, Cardiff Motorcycles Limited £30. I know a member here who may make you some manual CCT's for £40.
