Hi

Hi
I'm Jon (jc) from Chippenham and have a 2005 VTR, red that i bought last thursday after a couple months of research.

So far i have done one tank of fuel (130 miles -OMG lol) and WOW - what a bike - Sound/handling/performance etc - everything i had read about and hoped for!!

So any advice from existing members welcome - pictures to follow
Regards
JC

Welcome to the team JC, great bikes for the money as you have just found out.

Have a search through the workshop knowledge base section and you will see most of the important changes. But best advise is to modify the CCTs and keep putting petrol in her

The suspension can be improved very easily for very little money, and so can the brakes. And louder cans are a must.

Enjoy

And louder cans are a must.

Welcome aboard Jon

As AMcQ said, CCT's are your main concern if not already done.

welcome john
i must congratulate you on a 130 miles on one tank, mind you you do have the 19 litre tank on yours, i'm lucky to get just over a 100 hahaha
any questions just ask, someone here will have an answer and sometimes it's even correct.....lol

Welcome J C. nice bike I'd bet,I particulary like the gold coloured engine casings of the later models especially if it'sone of the faster RED Firestorms.
