Also your number plate mate. I only live like 20 minutes from you, so will keep an eye out for it on the roads, but, im betting it will either be found abandoned, or it will have the plates changed and sold.
Do you have a pikey camp near by?

Will keep an eye out as I'm fairly local, please post more pics, as AMCQ said.
Also, please post the reg and frame number.
Is it an F-2 or higher, if so it will have smartwater as standard too.

looking at your avatar, the seat looks like a unique feature that should help identify this bike.......also will be obvious if the seat comes up on ebay

How was it stolen?
Was it garaged?

Were the fairings and rear plastic resprayed as I can't see the VTR and V2 decals. Are there any other distinguishing features that you could list - milage, mods , tire brand etc.
I once found a friend's CBR600 that had been half-inched and had been taken to a local bike shop to be MOTd after having a coat of white dulux gloss, false plates and ground off & restampted engine no.
