Hi folks,
Just thought I'd check in as a new member/Vfr owner!
Picked up this beaut yesterday in Northern Ireland...
'98 , 13.5k miles.
Mot till Mar '26 (not needed here in Ireland tbh but a nice indication of roadworthiness!)
Previous owner bought it @10 months old and all credit to him, it's in brilliant condition for a 27yr old machine - paint on the fork legs is flaking a tiny bit and a tiny bit on the rhs heat shield, apart from a small crack on the mudguard & a few small marks...it's very good I'm a very happy camper 😃
Came with everything it should (tool kit & c spanners,owners manual etc) seat cowl,an after market Screen, carbon hugger.
€2500 - a bit of haggling was done to get him down to that due to tyre age...I wasn't going to risk riding 200 miles on old tyres despite them looking ok + passing the Mot - front was from '04 rear '14.
No chance.
Got the tyres done on the way back down in Dublin (@ €320 fitted).
So by the time I pay registration tax,motor tax and get a plate made, a shade over €3k.
Pretty happy with that if I'm honest!
Abm superbike conversion kit ordered today too - was out today for a few hours, for me it'll be essential.
Looking into something to lower the pegs too!
Micron carbon can is just epic - engine has just the best sound ...
Was in Ballymoney last weekend for the Joey Dunlop 25th celebration when I had my eye on this - was lucky enough to be right in front of the tent when they started one his race Rc45's.
Pretty much decided there and then I had to get the closet thing I could.
Have not been disappointed with the sound.
It is glorious.
Looking forward to gleaning as much info as I can from here!
Quick looksie shows there's a wealth of knowledge 👌
Regards,
Sean
