Hi Guys & Gals -
New member to the forum - I currently ride an FZR but I am looking to change to a VTR in the next few weeks hopefully !!
In fact going to look at one tomorrow - Any tips & things I need to look for apart from the usual death rattles / smoke etc would be much appreciated.

Well - Drove 120 miles to view it today, looked really clean 22k on the clock, FSH up to 20k.
I then took it for a spin........
The engine braking caught me out a bit but all I can say is OMG !!
Put a deposit down and am planning to collect in the next week or so !!
Now I'm on serious brownie point collecting at home

Behave yourself Chris
I simply ment that when I bought the bike my wife didn't think that much of it until I took her out for a spin on it!

Well........The Deed is Done
Got a lift back down there today...paid me money and rode her the 120 miles back. Fortunately the rain had stopped and apart from a bit of spray it was a great ride, bike never missed a beat but she does need a wash now
