    I found my VTR actually had a good amount of leg room as the pegs were quite low. I get cramped knees etc. much more often on the CBR than i did on the VTR and it was good for chewing up motorway miles.

    as mentioned previously though the suspension is a bit spongy and you really do need to know where the next petrol station is ....

    I though VTR1000s came supplied with a set of aftermarket cans from new (bro-in-laws '00 model came with Two Brothers). Seriously. This would be the first one I've seen without them. Notwithstanding this, it still looks like a pretty tidy bike, and it has a headlight protector, so someone who gave a sh** has owned it.

    There was a special deal run for a while where the 2-Bros cans were fitted. I guess this was to try to move some bikes. Some of the other marques have done similar deals (most notably, Suzuki with some of their models).
    I doubt you'd get much of that happening now, with the current exhaust regs, as most aftermarket mufflers wouldn't pass, not being OEM equipments and being slightly louder.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
