"THIS BIKE IS THE BEST LOOKING & SOUNDING VTR OUT THERE BAR NONE"

Hmm...

I have to take issue with that. Mine looks better and sounds every bit as good.


It goes and stops better too.

I'm not slagging anything.

But the hyperbole was contentious.

I did laugh when I saw that one pop up again with the Showa suspension shown as an added extra, and the exhaust bandage, but did any of you see this one for at least the 2nd time listed on e-bay?

If this bike belongs to a member of this forum, I would advise the following:
1) dont tell everyone you have wheelied it to death
2) dont include a picture of you with your trousers down and your Union Jack boxer shorts.
Neither of these will instill confidence in any buyer that you are a careful owner.

If it not a member of the forums, then we can start to rip the piss

Yeah, I saw that one too.

The seller didn't think my question about the "150BHP" was worth attaching to the listing, apparently :D

Inherited from their boss??
That's good?

"And to the filing clerk I leave my Honda motorcycle, which has 150BHP"?????

Lol

I have just told him if it had that many horses then the mods would be worth more than the bike!!!

Jim.

PS A note th the possible forum members who own the above bikes, sorry if you are offended as that was not my intention, but you are taking the PISS just a little bit!!!!! :eek2 :lol:

Now that would be a handlful! A 150BHP Storm on standard suspension ! Plus still on standard cans. The new Ducati streetfighter is only just pushing out those sort of figures :D

The seller has just replied to my question regarding the claimed 150bhp !!!!
"my last bike was a gsxr1100 and this is quicker how many horses do you think it it? interested?"

Told them the storm is approx 110bhp and the gsxr would have been faster !!!!!
