I'm REALLY sorry Guys...

Post by sicarius »

I was getting mighty pissed off with all the hassles I've been having with my little Ninja 250... And to be perfectly honest, I think I was getting more angry at myself than at anyone in particular...I should've known better than to have bought a japanesse import. I was looking through some trader post ads today when I saw this 1998 Honda VTR 1000 for sale. For $5000, honestly, a bloke would be mad to have walked away from it. You guys and girls here at KSRC have been fantastic to me and I pained long and hard over it, but, in the end, my need for speed,reliablity and grunt wore me down. I'm sorry guys. I went out and bought myself a Honda VTR 1000 Firestorm today....
Anyone wanna hook up for a ride? :)

The fact that you are so apologetic is really telling us that you have made a mistake & that you have
seen the error of your ways & will, today head back to the seller for a full refund so you can get a Kwaka
with speed,reliablity and grunt :lol: :lol:

Its very red isnt it :shock:

They're actually a pretty damn good bike, having owned one for a fair while I can give you a few tips!

Perfect gearing is one tooth down on the front sprocket, three teeth up on the rear... less than a hundred bucks and it will be like a whole new bike.
Braided lines and good pads will transform the brakes, $250 very very well spent.
Pilot powers are the go.
The suspension is pretty average but you can ride around it no problems.
They are absoute bike porn with a set of pipes, or even the stockers drilled out.
I hope you are friendly with your local service station attendand, if not then you will be soon!

Is that a v4 or am I thinking of the VFR? I think I was looking at a VFR a while back because of the sheer horn factor emenating from those rocket launchers on back.

Looks pretty good! Get a good set of cans on there and they sound absolutely beautiful :D

My friend is running Pilot Road 2's or 2CT's or whatever the dual compound ones are on his "fuelstorm" and swears by them.

If anything could ever tempt me from a kwaka it would be a VTR... just for the sound! (yes, yes, I'll go wash my mouth out now)

The VTR is a V-Twin
The VFR is a V-Four

They are a great bike BUT the camchain tensioners need attention- when they crap themselves (and most do) you end up with some bent valves. :cry:
