Sadly selling the vtr
Sadly selling the vtr
I know I have only just got the vtr but after the dust has settled over the last week,
I have decided I cannot currently enjoy a bike at the moment.
Martin was going to be helping me with a few bits and pieces and mods so it all feels a bit strange for now.
The bike is an awesome piece of kit and is very very clean and tidy
I bought it for £1500 and it needs a front tyre,i've got a scrub for it ready to go on.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161063138549
Spec as follows
Honda VTR1000 F2 Firestorm in Pearl Flash Yellow – the later one with the big tank, digital clocks and HISS (got both keys)
It is in excellent condition with some very useful and tasty modifications.
The bike comes with 10+ months MOT and 5 Months Tax, has covered 26714 miles and has had 2 previous owners from new, both are mates of mine.
The modifications:
· Yoshimura RS3 Stainless Steel Cans
· White Power Remote Reservoir Shock Absorber
· MC Technics front fork internals
· Datatool Alarm (with 2 fobs)
· Datatagged
· Goodridge Hoses all round
· Moriwaki Belly Pan
· Brembo pads
· Cam Chain Tensioner modification, a must on the Storm
· Regulator/Rectifier mod (standard ones are made of playdough)
· Pyramid hugger
· Honda CBF indicators
· LED rear light
· Double Bubble Dark Screen
· Warbtech S/S Exhaust hangers – for no pillion, standard for pillion use included
· Seat Hump
· Powder coated frame
· Powder coated wheels
· Also comes with Renntech Luggage rack, Bagster tank cover (NO BAG) and standard exhausts.
· Tyres and round and black
· Chain and sprockets are all good
Bad bits
· Couple of small dents in tank, see pictures
Re: Sadly selling the vtr
Sorry to hear the news banksy but I can understand why you are selling up. I did have a little look at it on Friday and it does look nice, for a yellow one
Wish you best of luck with the sale. Maybe one day you will get yourself another bike.

Re: Sadly selling the vtr
Sorry to hear that Banksy & as Ck said I also understand. However, if Martin were able to intervene he would definitely be in disagreement.
Re: Sadly selling the vtr
Well appointed bike for that money fella. I can understand why the shine has been taken off it for the time being.
Good luck with the sale.

Re: Sadly selling the vtr
its a shame to get rid, but given the circumstances I can understand where you are coming from.
I had a quick look at it on friday and it is a cracking bike and was well looked after with all the right mods fitted, so for £1500 it is a steal for some one.
If you do decide to keep it then I am sure we can help you do all the project mods you had lined up

Don't do it Banksy. Keep it. Sorn it if you need to but keep it. Its worth more than £1400. If I hadn't bought the tuono and was still looking I would have offered £1900 and I'm a cheeky fooker!banksy wrote:Cheers guys

Re: Sadly selling the vtr
He'd be saying something along the lines of me being a puff !
I'm appeasing the mrs too cos she's not happy at the moment
I got knocked off last year by white van man and didn't have a bike for 18 months and this was my return
She's just really worried and stressing about it,am getting an off road enduro though to tick me over.
I shall return to road bikes soon enough though.
And I pretty much decided it'll be a vtr with flat/riser bars for sure.
£1400 just to vtr site members

Re: Sadly selling the vtr
its worth way more than 1400, stick it on thebay for 1800/1900 and accept offers....if you feel like you don't want anymore than what you paid for it, any extra you make you could stick in the memorial fund.....banksy wrote:Any interest before she go's on flea bay
