For sale I have my Honda VTR Firestorm. which I will be very sad indeed to see go. The only reason I'm looking to sell is because I want to start doing a few long distance tours with the misses and this isn't the really the bike for doing that. It is the bike you want if you're just going for a Sunday morning blast. it may be an old bike but it can still go when you want it to. and being a V-twin it's got lots of lovely low down grunt as well. Add to that the amazing V-Twin and its a bike that will always put a smile on your face everytime you take it out of the garage. And its a Honda so the engine will last forever if its taken care of. As you can see from the pictures this bike has been well looked after throughout its life time and hasn't covered a massive amount miles for a bike of it's age (around 43000 in 17 years) . This is largely due to the previous owner who had 3 other bikes and very rarely took this one out. Only covering a few hundred miles between MOT's. All the past MOT's are present so the millage can be verified. It has got a few small upgrades. such as;Braided break lines front and back. Straight through Scorpion race exhausts which are very loud but sound amazing (so much so this is the main reason I bought the bike!) I also have the original end cans for MOT time and if you don't fancy everyone on your street knowing whenever you go out for a ride. Carbon fiber front mudguard with matching carbon fender extender. (This has been repaired around the screws but isn't very noticeable unless you're looking directly at it. Carbon fiber rear hugger with chrome chain guard. Custom one off (at least I've not seen another VTR with them on) exhaust hangers. Came with the bike. I was going to put some original hangers back on but never got round to it. they can be bought off eBay for ?10ish each. Radiator covers to help protect from stones and other debris. As the bike is 17 years old its not perfect and it has got a few little marks here and there. But overall it still looks lovely and sounds amazing. The MOT runs out on the 21st of February. If the full asking price is achieved I'll put a fresh MOT on for the new owner before they come to pick it up. The bike is currently SORN so would either need to be taxed by the new owner. or taken away in a van or trailer. No tyre kickers or test pilots. If you would like to test drive proof of insurance must be shown and the full asking price of the bike left with me before you take it on the road. And if you drop it you've bought it! This bike is also advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to end the auction early within the rules of eBay. Bike also sold as seen. no warranty is implied or offered. A ?100 deposit is required to be paid via PayPal by the winning bidder at the end of the auction. The remaining balance to be paid in cash upon collection.
