Nice one Mr Viper Sir. Welcome to the 1000 club, get some R&Gs fitted if you can, those side mounted radiators are expensive in a tumble allegedly.

What colour is the top coat going to be ;)

hovis
22-06-07, 08:12 AM

Great to see that you have stuck with a twin.
Don't get me wrong Viper, I really like Firestorms, just from my experience, a
fairly well ridden SV is more than a match for the Honda.
.............although, the Firestorm will be off at the first sign of a motorway! ;)

Viper
22-06-07, 08:51 AM
what she sound like?
Very Sweet
is she origanal?
Totally
any mods planned?
Not Got That far yet
can i have a go?

Nope.. I seen what you did to the Merc
will we see her on thursday?
If my Chq gets here in time
are you going to buy back the SV?
Nope, Not allowed, possible head stock and frame damage:(
what you having for tea?

I'll second the advice about crash bungs - I mentioned it to Luckypants about his new Viffer - those rads are obscenely delicately expensive.

Very nice, and actually looks good in Yellow - a rare thing for a Honda. ;) Welcome to the 'Reliable Club'. :)

That's a very open relationship you have there ; )

Sounds like Mr Viper will be on the couch ALONE at this rate :smt005

He doesn't even get the couch, it's the muddy field for Viper and a deceased pig for company.

mate, good choice of bike. Welcome to the VTR/SV Club. I know which one I prefer.





As Beenz said, what colour is the top coat going to be? :roll: :D

You've just gotta get some aftermarket cans dude. You just gotta!!

nice bike!

hovis
03-07-07, 11:52 AM
sooooooooooo............ how does the new bike compare to the SV?

Viper
03-07-07, 11:56 AM
Well sat on the motorway at the legal limit;) didnt manage to get her in to top gear. She si so comfy and efortless to ride on a motorway.

As for twisties, well it was quite wet so didnt have a chance to test her out.
Now back home i took her down the road in the dry and OH MY GOD that thing handles like the SV (light and agile) but pulls like a mule in lower gears.
She is blooming great:D

hovis
03-07-07, 12:22 PM
ermmm...................... and its a bulletproof honda

whats the differnace between a VFR & VTR?

Viper
03-07-07, 12:25 PM
I beleive ones a Vtwin (mine) other a IL4.

Correct me if i am wrong

Skip
03-07-07, 12:28 PM
VTR is 1000cc V-twin and VFR is 800cc V-Four

Both capable machines... I remember reading a quote about the VTR when it came out - Folks were hoping for a Honda 916 but what they got was a V-twin VFR....

Sums it up well I think....

Luckypants
03-07-07, 02:35 PM

oi! no way would I defect to the dark side. Wait till I get some proper cans on it, then you will realise it is defo not an IL4!

Glad to see you have unleashed the beast.

Now I might be wrong but I've a sneaky suspicion I've see that bike in V & J in Mudford.. if so you've got a peach it looked really tidy when I had a nose round it a while ago, they had two in there a Yellow un and a red un IIRC.

To be honest i got it from salisbury, Just as tidy as the one in V&J but £1000 cheaper:thumbsup:

Might have been helped by the fact it's been imported, probably means my SV is worth about 2p!

Nice bike mate.......... well, it's a Honda :D

Now you'll know what its like to ride a "proper" V-Twin, i.e. one that doesn't lose its front cylinder in the wet :p

Might look good with a pink metallic topcoat over that yellow undercoat.

@stretchie
Soggy biscuits? In the army, were you ;)
