[xa-mont]

JKs

I do want one of the above though under 50k kms. looking to spend somewhere under 5k.

[Gitzy]

Fancy a drive Trav..

Both these are up the road from me, if you couldn't get for 5k your not trying :D

2003 HONDA VTR1000F 22,000kms $5500 (http://www.bikesales.com.au/all-bikes/private/details.aspx?R=11207622&__Qpb=1&Cr=12&__Ns=p_PriceSort_Decimal%7c1%7c%7cp_Make_String%7c 0%7c%7cp_Model_String%7c0&keywords=&__No=30&__N=1432%20604%201430%201429%201626%201428%2042949 67259%204294958453%201603&silo=1400&PriceTo=1603&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=61&__sid=131D740DFDDC)

2000 HONDA VTR1000F 17,000kms $5500 (http://www.bikesales.com.au/all-bikes/private/details.aspx?R=11180515&__Qpb=1&Cr=13&__Ns=p_PriceSort_Decimal%7c1%7c%7cp_Make_String%7c 0%7c%7cp_Model_String%7c0&keywords=&__No=30&__N=1432%20604%201430%201429%201626%201428%2042949 67259%204294958453%201603&silo=1400&PriceTo=1603&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=61&__sid=131D740DFDDC)

I'm sure Jimmy would bring one of them to your door..

[Shadowzone]

You can get VTR's for $3500 if you look hard enough.

[xa-mont]

yeah i have seen a few well priced ones around. but of course now my brand loyalty is dragging me to the TLR (and cause i have ALWAYS loved the look and sound of the TLR... and a blue, white and black one would match my leathers :P)

[BANDITROD]

Tl is the go trav fuck that honda

[xa-mont]

Problem is they seem to be a little more exxy... and i'de probably fall into Gitz mode and not want to fighter such a iconic pimpin' looking bike!

[BANDITROD]

Here ya go trav http://www.bikesales.com.au/all-bikes/private/details.aspx?Cr=12&R=11068183&keywords=&trecs=202&__sid=1326A369B10E&__Ns=p_IsPoa_Int32|0||p_RankSort_Int32|1||p

[Shadowzone]

The Hondas a smaller lighter and don't handle like you're riding a waterbed.
Still, they're a dirty Honda. So there's a tradeoff. I still miss mine.

My preference is for the VTR, but that's me. I will get another one soon enough. I really want an SP 1 or 2 to fighter the problem is the dollars everyone wants for them. Drug money I call it - cause you'd have to be on drugs to pay that much for one...

[Yella]

+1 miss my old VTR and will get another at some stage. Set up correct they are capable of keeping up with most others in the twisties not somuch in drag race/top end but wheelies all day
Again would love to fighter an SP one day

2 too many cylinders facing forward for my liking. Needs to be a V something so it sounds pimptacular... cause i can't ride well, so i may as well sound good!

VTR prices are very tempting. and seems my Gix front end will pretty much bolt right up (need new top bearing and that's it) and they do sound pretty horn... WHAT TO DO!!!?!?! GARRRR?!?!?!

[Gitzy]

Lol pimptacular.. my TL doesn't sound pimptacular cos its too busy sounding Yoshtastic..

[Yella]

My old VTR

http://p1.bikepics.com/2005/04/19/bikepics-336097-800.jpg

You know you want to

[xa-mont]

yeah maybe i do.... and the brushed look on the frame has me thinking i could rock a bit of a brushed alloy theme to it... I have sent some enquires about some down here in vic (so hopefully i can get one with RWC/rego and save the fuck around)

[ALBI]

you can buy my tls !!!

im slowly getting over the ol girl,tha handbrake is wingeing about me spending a grand on the motor

[Cruisecontrol]

My VTR:

Look closely and you may see the key snapped off in the ignition due to the impact with a car...

The replacement TL:

Broken frame, snatchy throttle & very heavy.

I would take the VTR in a heartbeat.

if it's the same as my vfr8, it's the top bearing for a yamaha srx 400.

[xa-mont]

hmmm... a little less engine-ey than i wanted...

it would seem that an Aprilia RSV1000 Mille might be an option as well if one comes up cheap enough.

[fimpBIKES]

this would be worth the drive

That's on the WOVR list. So add about $500 minimum and a stack of pissing around (or forget about it if you're in NSW).

It has 87k KM's though... if it had say sub20k kms i would consider it.

[wackyrider]

Trav, there's an Aprilia RSV mille at the same bloke as the VFR you saw. It hadn't arrived yet when I was there, but it should be a repairable write-off. I'm interested in going to see it for myself as well. Let me knwo when u have time and we'll go take a look. 2 sets of eyes are better tan 1

[xa-mont]

So there is! And the Falco might be worth a look too.

[Shadowzone]

Albi - you should have taken the telly mate.

You gonna have to start tellin this Street light/handbrake how its gonna be with bike decisions Big fulla, does she ever ask permission for Anything?

[BANDITROD]

Imagine having a wife that says please let me suck your balls cmon I'll do the dishes

[Gitzy]

I don't have to imagine Rodney [:p]

[xa-mont]

fuck the dishes, that's what dishwashers are for... i have much more entertaining things to do with my missus.

[wackyrider]

Like convince her to buy a 1972 Toyota Celica so that <s>you</s> she can drive it once it's fixed??

[BANDITROD]

Hahaha the sillycar

[xa-mont]

[wackyrider]

My wife does say that. With the exception of the part about doing the dishes. That's why we have kids. A household full of midget slaves...

[fimpBIKES]

to suck your balls? wtf?!?

[hooligan]

i think the kids do the dishes while the wife sucks balls. In another room, I hope.

[Hillsy]
