A year or two ago, I bought an R-reg GSXF750W. I rode it back to Whitby from North Sheilds and parked it in my garage. I took it to work twice which is about 15 miles each way and put it back in the garage. I realised that the car is warmer and has a radio and bikes aren't much fun when it's cold and wet. And all my chums who used to come out to play have all grown up, sold their bikes or gone on to proper track day bikes. So I'd decided to sell the poor old GSXF.
Yesterday, my chum turned-up at my place with his beloved VTR1000 Firestorm. It's a bike that I've wanted to have since they first started to do battle with the TL1000 many moons ago. My mate moved to Cyprus two years ago with his wife and put the bike in storage. Now his wife has come back to the UK and he's moving to Miami with his new girlfriend so the bike has to be sold.
The 'Storm is in red, in real good condition, on a P plate and is the 50th Celebration edition, whatever that means. It's just had the timing chain tensioners done and a new rear shock. It has a set of noisey chimbleys fitted and the standard ones for Sundays. The tyres are round and black.

So here's the thing: I've convinced myself that I need the VTR1000 so if I can sell the GSXF, then I'll buy my mates VTR. If I sell the VTR first, then I'll push the GSXF back into the shed and sulk.
If anyone is interested in either bike, let me know and I'll take piccies and stuff. Both bikes will have new batteries and a fresh MOT. Looking for £700 for the GSXF and £1250 for the VTR.
Both bikes are in Whitby but could be delivered if needed.
Cheers, Owelly.

I've always wanted a firestorm, and at that price would be tearing your hand off. The sound is worth 1250 quid, even if you keep it in the shed and just rev it up occasionally. Unfortunately I work/worked at pfizer. :'(

Both bikes are priced to sell. My mate needs the cash asap. I guess I'll have to put them on Ebay and suffer the idiots who waste my time with stupid "will you swap them both for three tea cakes and arrange shipment to Bolivia?" questions.

Could do a deal for 3 eccles cakes and a jammy thingy

Here's the 'Storm in all it's rain covered glory!








GSXF piccies to follow when I go and find it.
Cheers for looking.

Might be interested in the VTR if my SV sells any time soon.

Insurance is steep but other than that lovely bike

What's the miles on the GSX?
