Trade - Fairing bike

**coloured** · 28th February 2008, 09:42

I know this may seem odd, but I would like to trade my bike for one with fairings. I live out of town (about 20 minutes), and would really like something with fairings. I know I'm going to miss the 'naked' feel!
This bike has a brand new 6 month WOF and rego.
The bike is in excellent condition, no dents or scratches.
There is a little paint rubbed off the frame where your foot goes on the gear side (nothing major).
The bike has been fully service under 200 km ago.
Front tire is new.
The bike is a brilliant red, with gunmetal grey framing.
It has excellent torque, and starts everytime without any trouble.
I will post some pictures when I get home.
Please let me know if anyone is interested, I might be willing to sell it and buy something else (with fairing) or if you think your bike is worth more we can make an arrangement in regards to some extra cash.
cheers

sorry, I setup my account to this forum before I even had a bike to look through comments from you guys. The NSR is the bike I really wanted (and still want), that or the RGV, but parts availability made me decide otherwise, hence I bought a reliable 4 stroke (my second choice of bike, I like the ducati monster style). I will change my profile to reflect my actual bike.
The trade info does however reflect the correct model.
Honda VTR 250

Its a great bike, and goes extremely well with excellent torque and great handling on the open road and easy to maneuver through traffic/slow situations.

I' looking for something along the lines of a Yamaha FZR or a Kawasaki ZXR (early 90's)

I could do that, I hadn't really thought of it - I wonder how it would look with a fairing.
This bike is really great to ride, I will look into it.

I know quite a few VTR owners who've put fairings on them. Seem to be the bike of choice for pansy half-arsed men who can't stand a bit of wind and rain

Givi do some good screens at reasonable prices. Proper bikini fairings would be better but then you've got to match the paint and shit.

Why are you after fairings in the first place? Just sick of the wind?

Why would you want a bike with nana knickers?

Go to the supermarket and get a can of get hard! Or you could just get something like this. http://http://www.trademe.co.nz/Brow...x?id=143092633

You will be surprised at the amount of difference it will make.
