    Agreed. As 250s go the VTR was in a class of its own.

    I have been looking at them going "I could make a mini-Scrambler out of one very easily". I reckon that could be fun.

    I will add that to my list of projects!

    First I've heard that. I was under the impression that the motor never changed once they stopped them eating camshafts. Could be in the carbs/pipe/timing though.

    So. Much. Classy.

    Why put that dirty little thing in there? , just trying to false advertise but I didn't want to see it. 749s in yellow are gross. Price looks pretty good even for the kms.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Yup definite class there, if they're trying to get a foot into online motorcycle trading.

    To quote their Ducati Monster advert -
    "Well, your mates won't be laughing at you any more when they clap eyes on this throbbing Monster between your legs!
    Not only that, but all the girls will be wanting to straddle your Monster too!"

    .......I'll keep the Guzzi thanks.

    It does come in two colours AND with pre-drilled mounting holes. .

    The details state it is "an extremely rare" piece of square plastic.

    That one is a bit on the high side but I have seen NOS plastic going for $4-500NZD
