I just got my full licence, so I'm thinking of moving up to a 650. In order to do so, my VTR will sadly have to go.
Before getting this VTR, I test rode a LOT of other 250 bikes, Hornets, Bandits, CBRs, etc, but as soon as I rode this VTR, I fell in love.
It's such a magic beginners bike. Light, comfortable, forgiving, and it handles great.
Handling is even better now, since I recently bought 2 brand new Michelin Pilot Activ tyres.
It's also recently had the top, most extensive service by George of Motorcycle Doctors, new rear brake pads, complete flush of cooling system and new brake fluid etc, carbs synced, valve clearances checked, new spark plugs; everything.
Just got new rego and WOF too. Flew through.
Anyway, I won't be doing the hard sell, cos I don't mind keeping this bike if it doesn't go, it's great, super economical, runner.
Good condition. I've never dropped it.
Has a couple of minor scratches from previous owner. A small dot of touch up paint on the tank, and another on the top of the front fender from a garage door dropping on the front fender.
Other than that, it's pretty mint.
Please see my profile for pix from every possible angle.
Low quality pix sorry, cos they were taken with a cellphone, but you'll get the idea.
