I'm REALLY sorry Guys...

[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

Its very red isnt it

[Black Magic]

Who am I to be racist?

Good pick up- I like the red!

[Shifty]

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

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)

[Shifty]

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

One of my ghey mates has staintune pipes on his...


sound okay i guess...

[Wattie]

pretty decent all round bike

[Blue14]

Looks clean as, nice pick up ..

[bonester]

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.

[Possum]

At least it's got two wheels and is not a scooter
