What do you think would be a fair price ??

Anything else I've seen is miles away (I live in Kerikeri). This could be a good option for me I thinks ?!?!

Seems like no-one gives the VTR a 'bad' review,...some don't like its appearance (eye of the beholder and all that jazz ),...but everyone says it's well built and does exactly what it says on the box !

What do you lot reckon ??

Looks alright - looks like it's been resprayed though......see if you can get someone who knows to cast an eye over it on the flesh (not just web photos)

Cheers Jim. You're right about the respray. I popped in to see him on the way home (before reading KB) and he explained that it had been resprayed. This was due to a ding on the petrol tank,...apparently dropped against something in the garage ? The bloke seemed pretty genuine.

I'll take it for a test drive next week,...but unfortunately I'm not really sure what I'm looking for mechanically.

There is some very superficial rust on the chrome, the engine looks immaculate, seat's great, tyres look fairly new (Bridgestone's I think), all the hoses and rubber boots (that I could see) look brand new, the radiator also looked brand new, the bike started first time and it ran lovely.

So,...any ideas what would be a good price ?!?! Appreciate your help
