    New VFR Rider in Perth

    Well, I've wanted to be a VFR rider for months, years even. But now I am, thanks to a well maintained 1999 example going cheap at a dealer. Someone said to me a few months ago when I was looking around that people who buy VFRs tend to hang on to them. Well, now I know what he means. My bike might have 100,000kms on it but it still runs like a dream. Oh, it needed new plugs and brake fluid. Not much drama coming from the first workshop visit. Better get on to riding then.

    Welcome to the VFR community. My '98 model has done just over 115,000 km. Very happy with it. Enjoy!!!

    Perth rocks my friend. Lived there for a few years. Good luck with the 99.

    Hi Graeme, You didn't pick her up at KTM East Vic Park by any chance? Red, one owner, $3,750...
    Cheers, J

    Yep, that's the one! She's got a few signs of all the kays she's done but generally in very good condition. My last ride was a ZZR600 which was good but more thirsty, less torqey and a bit tempermental when cold...

    Nice buy!

    When i rang KTM the day after you'd bought her I asked... "What sort of condition was she in..." He said one word... "Immaculate!"

    I had to ask!
