2001 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm in Red

Description

So, I’ve got this 2001 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm in red — it’s one of those classic bikes that just feels right when you see it. It’s on an 51 plate, has 26,835 miles, and honestly, it’s in great shape for a bike that’s over 20 years old.

I’ve had it for a while now and it’s been well looked after — the owner before me did a fair bit of work on it, like steel brake lines and a rear hugger, and it’s got a full 12-month MOT. There are two ignition keys and a few old MOT certificates around, though it doesn’t have a service book. That said, it’s been through five different owners and the tyres are nearly new, which is a big plus.

It’s not perfect — you’ll see some signs of age, like minor corrosion or small cracks, which is normal for a bike this old. It’s not a showroom machine, but it’s still got that classic VTR spirit and rides smooth.

If you’re thinking of checking it out, I’d really appreciate it if you could book a viewing by phone — no point in you driving all the way just to find out it’s gone. I’m based in Appleby-in-Westmorland, Westmorland and Furness, so it’s a bit of a journey, and I don’t want anyone to waste time.

I’ve got a video walk-around on our Facebook page — search Torbay Motorcycles & More — and we’ve got around 50 bikes in stock if you’re interested.

If you’d like to see it, just give me a ring — Mark or Marcus, 01626 352527. (Phone number removed)

We’ve been around since 1936, so we know a thing or two about classic bikes. We’ve got a full workshop and MOT station on site, and we treat every bike like it’s someone’s pride and joy.

If you’re thinking about buying something like this, don’t expect it to be brand new — it’s a classic, not a new machine. But if you’re up for a proper, honest chat, I’m happy to talk it through. No pressure, just real talk.

Let me know if you’re interested — I’ll make sure you get a proper look and feel.

Thanks,
Mark & Marcus
