Anyone know a black VTR owner in the crawley/Horsham area?

Yesterday I came across a lovely black VTR on the A23. Well ridden! Sounded stunning and looked gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful and made me jump straight on to eBay when I got home. Lucky chap.

Probably rushing home before the camchain tensioner fails!!

My Dad had one, loved it, think of it as a twin cylinder CBR600, real world performance and handling/brakes to suit.

He only sold after the 2nd CCT failure left it with a RAC rescue & bent valves.

If by VTR you mean an SP1 or 2 (RC51) then yes they are fantastic bikes, I have one and wouldn't part with it unless I fell on hard times.

The RC1 has gear driven cams so no chain tensioner in one of those lovely lumps!

Yes the SP1. Ive never considered one before but after seeing that one, Ive fallen in love! Great bit of kit.

Castrol SP2 would be in my dream garage:

Yep - that'll be rather special. I think the RCV will only invigorate interest and prices of these.

The combination of gear driven cams and the thumping V-twin makes for a unique noise unlikely to be ever repeated. Sublime bike that oozes quality and class. I would rather sell my 1098R than the SP2.

Honda Newcastle had a really cool orange coloured VTR last year. Only a couple of grand, I imagine it would have sold fairly easily.
