Yellow 'un for sale !
Ok...so I bought my 99 reg storm last July thinking that it was the dogs bollox! which it was for a while...then I started getting cramps in my legs and aching wrists ! ..now I'm no spring chicken but I'm not over the hill just yet and I've decided that I need a more comfortable bike for my six feet six ins frame ! Probably be a vfr 1200 or blackbird or maybe even a beemer !
Anyway before I put her up on the evil bay I thought I'd offer it to you lovely lot on here first !
She is an import model with the odometer recording in kph which at the moment reads 42,321 km which equates to around 25k miles , has a full 12 months mot expiring on 01/04/17
just had new chain and sprockets on with less than 150 miles since fitting , serviced last sept ..oil plugs filter ! new tyres last august with 1000 miles use since then . new rear brake pads less than 50 miles ago.
she is pretty clean for her age but compared to some I've seen on here not sparkling ! couple of marks on the bodywork ..namely the pillion seat cowl has a 2 inch crack in it and the left hand top fairing is slightly scraped where it looks like it's gone down off the sidestand ..but these were on it when I got it ! she had high level cans on when I bought her but one can broke off due to the vibrations and obviously the fitting kit wasn't up to it ! so I replaced them with a clean standard set . I will include the broken hi level system if the buyer wants it ..might be able to do something with it !
The reg plate is rather cool it starts with S then has three identical numbers followed by VTR ! again that was on it when I bought it and will stay with the bike .
I will put some pics up when I get chance to take some up to date ones showing the new items recently put on and the damaged exhausts etc..
Not in any rush to get rid , unless I find the perfect replacement for her soon !
Looking for £1500 but am open to sensible offers !
Any questions just pm me or call /text me on 07852484462
Location, close to Dudley in the "Black country ".
cheers Steve.

Re: Yellow 'un for sale !
Good luck with the sale mate.
Having done a light bit of research it would seem we have very very similar registrations. I've got the same as you only mine starts with a j so I found that mildly interesting

If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

Thanks Rob ..the bloke who sold me the bike said the reg was worth £300 but I think that is bulls**t !
I wonder how many more storms have the VTR reg ?
Any one else on here ?

Re: Yellow 'un for sale !
those checks mean nothing, it all comes down to whether someone wants to splash the cash, I had a plate which meant nothing, but it was b the 2 numbers followed by 3 letters, so 1 number shorter than most plates at the time, it was valued at 600, they couldn't sell it for love nor money....
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
