The VFR is bleeding me dry. I'm on meagre wages and I'll be out of a job for a month or so if I get into Weltec. And I'm racking up a substantial debt with my parents as well as I have the original loan. I'm interested to hear some real offers (I'll call for anyone saying "$1 lol" to be infracted) and see whether I can be swayed to get rid of it or just hang onto it.
Pros:
-New front disks from TYGA Performance ($450). Pads are half worn
-New rear disk and pads ($200)
-Zorsts Muffler (with slight dent on the underside) which sounds awesome, and has original pipe
-Custom muffler made by me. Tread plate with CBR400 end caps, flange to slip on adapter made by me (could slip on other Honda pipes possibly). Straight through perferated tube with house insulation inside (can be opened up to replace with real packing). Sounds awwwesome, like the TYGA Maggot pipe. Would take some convincing to part with it though.
-Near new Conti tyre on the rear, 160/60/18
-Front GPR100 in nice condition, hasn't flattened down
-Black frame and swingarm
-Smoke double bubble windscreen
-Has side fairings, had them off in the photos since I just did the filter
Cons:
-71500kms, smokes briefly on start up
-Rear shock is in pieces and it's unclear that it can be fixed or not
-Needs new head stem bearings
-Bodywork is rough
-Neutral light doesn't work
-Front brakes shake the bike
Probably some stuff I've missed out
I'm going to Weltec to do Automotive refinishing so if I hang onto it a bit longer the bodywork will be done up nicely (planning blue and white with a red Honda wing). The shock is still getting sorted and I'll be trying to sort everything else. It's looks are still compelling me to feed the furnace with more money, partly why I want to get rid of it.
So, anyone interested?
