Going to look at a 2008 VFR tomorrow (Saturday)

Decided to risk the weather they forecast rain they also forecast rain for today but we saw none so decided to risk it and ride down on the Triumph Trophy 900 it's 211km according to google maps be the furthest that have ridden the Triumph in one go so far.

Originally was looking for a 5th Gen as frankly the servicing of the V-Tec is sort of worrying but cannot find one for sale closer the two I did find are about 4 1/2 hrs drive away at least this is 3hr 22min according to google.

This 2008 has got 54,000km on the clock according to the listing will see when I get there need to check the tyres and see if there is any service history but not holding my breathe on that as many for sale here in Bulgaria do not seem to have it.

Good luck Plezier. I guess the service history is a bit hit or miss as even this bike is 18 years old. Listen for camchain noise (a clattering a low revs), don't fret about clutch rattle (which should silence when the clutch lever is pulled) as they all do that.

 

Well am back and it was a waste of time as when I found the place they had sold it still on their listing though when I was there but now it actually has SOLD on the listing.

Today taught me a couple of things the most important being I am not as recovered as I thought I was no more longish rides fro a few months the second is that it seems lots of Bulgarians do not like us English he spoke some English and said should have called (phoned) I did in fact call and when I asked if he or anyone there spoke any English he said no and hung up!

My friend was tied up with something and could not meet up but he asked me how things were going today so I told him not good was still at th dealers then he said he wold call me back as he had a friend with a cars sales lot who sometimes sold bikes and his friend then called me and eventually we met up my fault I ended up at the wrong LUK filling station. Any was he tried searching and his contacts with no much luck so the search continues.
