Valve clearances, they drink fuel less than 100 miles to a tank, early bikes have a smaller tank I think so look at 80 miles to a tank. Usual honda electrics.
They're fun to ride, more torquey under 6k than the TL1000s were. Lynx is right on the fuel though...very thirsty. A friend had one for 20k miles or so before it was written off and had no problems with the electrics. How many miles?
any opinions on vtr1000 firestorms? seen a really cheap one, excellent condition but loads of miles.
