    That VTR has done 500km per year. I would be carjamming that baby as it does not seem right...esp when the seller says he has mostly used it for long distance touring. That would be once!

    Having said that I think nearly 10k is a touch optimistic.

    Ask him if it has the original tyres. Should just be wearing out.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Judder bars? Cornering on a bumpy road?

    There was a dude here not long ago might have given his left bollock for that. A CX superfan he was.

    Most trailbikes in the 70's did that and it didnt make the handling that much worse. Maybe legs are good dampers and dont add a lot of unsprung weight.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    After growing up on XL & CB125's my CB360 was pure luxury with its frame mounted rear pegs.

    I am aware is is a thing on old trailies etc but not on road bikes and not CX500’s
    In any case, pretty much a big detraction on a custom bike I would have thought
