Honda VTR1000 Firestorm 2003

Honda VTR1000 Firestorm - 2003Welcome to the sale of my 2003 Honda VTR1000 Firestorm.  The bike has recently had a new Motobatt battery. freshly powdercoated wheels and an oil change. I will be putting 12 months MOT on once a sale is agreed so the bike will be ready for it's new owner to make more use out of than I have managed. I'm building a house next year so will have even less time than I do at the moment which is why I'm selling.  The bike has been used before I had it for commuting hence the highish mileage of 45000 but to look at and ride the bike you genuinely wouldn't tell and being a Honda it's built to be used. I had intended to keep the bike which is why I had the wheels done I also bought a new seat for it as the old one looked shabby. I'll include the old one as well in case you fancy getting one of those fancy seat covers and still retaining the standard one. This was my plan. I also have the standard exhausts as well as the high level one's fitted to the bike now. These are great and sound lovely with the added bonus of retaining the rear footpegs which not all of them do. As you can see from the pictures the bike is on a 52 plate though was registered in early 2003. It has the updated clocks and larger fuel tank which is a must for these things. Having ridden with someone with the older smaller tank 85-90 mile fuel stops are a pain. The bike has had the cam chain tensioners converted to manual one's and if you do your research you'll see this is a worthwhile upgrade. For some reason the ignition barrel is a different key to the rest but this hasn't really caused me any issues. I have 2 sets of keys with the bike. The bike hasn't been on the road for a while unfortunately. I had considered taxing it and doing a few miles on it before selling it but with the new tax laws there would be no benefit for the buyer so I decided against it. The bodywork whilst tidy and presentable is not perfect. it is a used bike and has been used so please bear that in mind when considering buying the bike. I welcome anyone to come and view the bike inspect it. you can even ride it if you bring the full asking price by way of deposit. If you want to pay BLD ( http://www. bldgroup. co. uk/motorcycle-delivery-service/ ) or someone similar to transport the bike I can be flexible with collection for that.
