I assume this means it IS the larger one and the 16lt tap won't fit the hole next to the vent and breather tubes.

looks like a 19ltr to me, it can be made to fit an older vtr, but you'd need the correct fuel spigot and some new fuel lines, iirc you might be able to bend the old fuel lever sender to give a correct reading, but I ain't sure because the old style is analoge and the updated is digital

How the feck is this a barn find.... :roll: :roll: :roll:
it also says low mileage, but I can't see where the mileage is stated :confused
starts up fine they say, but doesn't mention that the tyres might be crap, or the brakes seized....maybe a bargain in someone's eyes

he is using "barn find" to pull in more hits from the search tools........ but it is just dumb to say that about a bike that you then claim to have had in dry storage and its much loved.

and he cant spell........ I hate him already :lol:

I don't hate him. I pity him.
Ask him questions.
Here's mine:
About the barn, I may be interested. What size is it, will it be dismantled ready for transport and is it easy to re-erect?

I have several barns, but there's always room for one more. It's the erection that gives me problems.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

is it just me or do the fairings look a bit Chinese? There appears to be no heat shielding under or near either pipe, they look a slightly different red to the tank and they also seem very thin. Is this how the SP's were or replacement fairings?
If it aint broke, get your bloody hands off it!

Yes, Chinese. That's why AP said Harrow.

Response from him (hes quick)

Mileage 27479

Reg RK51 SOJ


I was just comparing the fairings and yes shadow from the VTR goes all the way down while on the original it fades out plus the RC51 is lacquered over and the original didn't have that
