For sale is my VTRXXXf Firestorm which I?��ve owned since JulyXXXX and have had many happy miles on it. never expected to keep the bikethis long, but it?��s such blast to ride that I?��ve never wanted to part withit! This is very reluctant sale as change of circumstances means that I?��vehad to buy more sensible bike for commuting.The main thing I?��ve used the bike for is to run down to seemy mates in Cornwall couple of times year and as result it?��s only coveredaround XXXX miles each year. It sailed through the MoT couple of weeks agowith no advisories.I fork seals were weeping when bought the bike so hadthem both changed. I?��ve had the bike serviced few times over the years, thelast in May XXXX and have some receipts for work done. The only recent issue I?��vehad with the bike was theregulator/rectifier failed (common with Hondas) in Feb/March this year so new one and battery were fitted. make sure that the battery is charged up on tricklecharger every couple of days. The chain and sprockets have loads of life leftin them but the tyres are about halfway through their lives. The rear light hasbeen replaced with clear lens version but might have the original onesomewhere. also have the hard plastic seat cover that can be fitted if you?��reriding solo.The registration is personalised for previous owner and Ibelieve is worth few quid, but couldn?��t be bothered to go through thehassle of separating it from the bike.The bike starts first time and is ready to ride!
Good things:
Datatool System alarm/immobiliser with two remote fobs
Datatag in my name
Scottoiler fitted and working
Rear wheel hugger
K&N air filter
New battery and regulator/rectifier fitted in March this year
No smoking or unusual rattles, etc
Stack of old MoTs certificates to back up the mileageNot so good things:
Cosmetically the bike is quite rough, but like to think ofit as blank canvas for the next owner! The chassis and forks are pretty goodbut every other panel has some form of small crack, scuff or scratch
There is at least one dent/scratch on the left exhaust can and probably more
There is some corrosion and rust on various parts but it?��s all superficial
The paint is starting to flake off both of the front and rear wheels
I have been as honest as can in this listing, but would recommend you come to see the bike before bidding so you're under no illusions as to what you're getting! If you?��d like more photos or would like to see the bike thenplease let me know. You?��re welcome to take the bike for test ride but I?��dlike the full asking price in cash as well as your driving licence in my handbefore you do.
