Right a quick question for anyone in the know

Talk me into buying a VFR800 V-Tec... seen this one and I'm Loving it.
it's got 24000 miles and the the price is £4,500.

was looking at a Triumph Tiger 800 but undecided as yet.

I would prefer the pre VETEC one, but I know Luckypants loves his.

If I was going to sell the SV I'd get a VFR800

What you wanting the bike for?
Touring or balls out dicking about

sent from place where even the devil is afraid

I think for touring and a bit of as you so politely put it "Dicking about"

23-06-13, 03:35 PM

I'm quite a fan of the 750. By far the prettiest IMO.

obviously a knowledgeable seller

You have my thoughts lad, just fire away with questions now.

Just one thing about this bike, his GB sticker is on the wrong side.... **** poor show, give it a miss

Richie · 23-06-13, 04:09 PM

Cheers for the input Mike

I'm thinking I gonna buy one

TBH I don't think you'd go wrong with the Viffer.
Thinking on, LP whens the major VTEC service due on them?

Fancy an italian again?
