Looking at a VTR 250 for my daily commute

Anyone got any experience of this model in traffic?

I have a '85 K100 (who the fuck doesn't) for lovely long rides but it's heavy and fast, and lacks manoeuvrability in traffic(tourer).

pls reply :(

It's a great all around bike, and perfect to learn on.

If your not particularly tall, it's a good size to last a long time.

It can get to and hold highway speeds just fine, as long as you aren't planning any especially long road trips.

Perfect for commuting in the city or going an hour out of town, and ideal to learn on.

Just hit them with an offer. Being a dealer they probably won't budge too much but it's also an older bike they probably would prefer to not have in their inventory. I personally have no qualms with low balling the fuck out of a dealer.

Surely they shouldn't? They didn't before they had it in for the service? Dragging calipers are surely not normal? Excessive wear, friction and drag. I was a push bike mechanic and a bike would never leave the shop with a caliper dragging. Maybe they fucked up the rear wheel alignment or something?

Why the fucking fuck are dealers so shit?
Every fucking time the fuck something up can't they just be decent honest hardworking people like the fucking rest of us?

The swingarm and frame are scratched up. Not to mention the plastics on both sides are kill. That's more than enough to get a bike totaled in most cases but I have a friend that will make sure it gets totaled out. I'll be able to buy it back anywhere from 600-1300.

Well she pissed oil over the place so I've got a leak somewhere. And of course I've gotta check the forks, hope their not bent. There's definitely work that needs to be done and a good bit of money in parts to get her back up and running. She won't be pretty but I'm not gonna keep the stock plastics in the long term anyway.

I remember like it was yesterday that ride after installing PR2s (I had some terribly worn Scorpions before) and being like "woah".

I went for a ride inna mountans and it went from taking it easy to full on madness in a spawn of less than 10 minutes.

That's when I realized I should work on my bp to get any faster. That day was a good day.

Nowadays I have a sportsbike waiting for parts and a 250 which has Pilot Streets. You can get some good lean on them but when you reach around 1cm of strips on either side it starts to get very sketchy, as in "I'm going to crash today if keep riding like this". Still fun though.

I believe we can help each other
I had a VTR as my first bike and am now interested in K75s and K100s as an upgrade.

89-90 models have updated ratios which are easier in 15-45 mph moving than 88s. Not much else to worry about, the bike is so light that maneuverability is easy low speed.

the VTR engine is mildly related to the VFR on the bottom end, and likewise is a stickler for high quality oil changes.

Regarding BMWs, beyond evidence the previous owner kept up with maintenance to euro standards, what else should I look for?
>>
>>15012355
You should be able to find something a decade newer at that same price. It's a 250, who cares if its a bit beat up? Just buy one with some fairing damage and save yourself a couple hundred bucks.

Hi guys,
I 've got a problem with my SV. It was misfiring a few months back, down to a 33bhp limited ECU failing under load. Ran fine for a bit, after that, when hot, idle would start to get a bit rough and occasionally cut out. Started running on one cylinder a few days ago and cut out instantly at idle, and would crank for ages then start again. Changed the plugs, HT leads and coils, still running on one cylinder but without all the cutting out at idle. Any ideas ?

2007 SV650, single spark, done 47k miles.

Check your carbs if it is.
If not, check fuel filter and air filter, make sure there's nothing on the petcock either.

They actually had fuel gauges way back 30 years ago.

I'm just going to up the octane and see if that helps.

Yeah, has some cosmetic damage here and there from being dropped by the previous(original) owner but is mechanically sound. Only 3600 miles on it when I bought it too. At 4100 now. I mostly bought it to flip though, just enjoying it for like a month first.

He was asking $4500 in a random FB group I'm in for my local area with only like 1000 people in it so was just right place right time.

After I got into my situation with the cops on my VFR and lost my license for a few months back in 2014 - state farm dropped me.

My SR22 with them added $50 a month for each vehicle that I had insured. So $150 extra a month. I then went to progressive where I paid less WITH SR22 than I paid without SR22 with state farm. I had also been under my grandmother's policy with state farm. With progressive I'm on my own.

Now that I don't have SR22 anymore it all dropped even more.

I have all these shitboxes with full coverage on the SRT4 and on the B-King and I only pay a total of $122/month for them all combined. Progressive is great for me.
