Noice, what is that?
Vor, never heard of it before.

Boutique motorcycle manufacturer from Italy, not many around. Stopped production in 2005 i think. I have a 2002 model, still mixes it with the top Euro bikes. Specs as good as any modern Enduro Weapon.
I just love the fact no-one has heard of them. Lots of fun when I look for a workshop to do some work on it, when i say VOR and they say, "a what" I quickly turn and walk out!

On that picture, I had a quick look and thought that PVC pipe were your exhausts. 

Hi tricolore

A guy we knew had a VOR once. We go get drity occasionally well the other half does, but on four wheels he has a new can am 650, and I have actually got a Suzuki 4x4 500 Quadrunner up home here at the moment I am trying before I buy So me can get dirty too they are great fun, but they are slowly closing up where you can go here in Tassie. Hubby goes down the remote west coast  here every year for a few days and they explore old mines etc. So I want to go too, maybe I will buy this one, 2000 model, 2 & 4 wheel drive High and low range so 10 gears, for $3100 not a bad buy, I will have to bling it thou, it already has nice alloy wheels

EGAS

Didn't VOR go broke???


What is it like for finding spares??


A bike shop down the road was selling VOR's and yes they are a very nice dirt bike!


As for dirt biking I would love to but I sold my WR250 2 stroker a number of years ago.

Still got the riding gear though.

The Watagans........you luck son of pregnant dog.


Enjoy

Broke, Bankrupt, caput, gooooone, Yes... it does make getting parts more difficult. There is word that a U.S based mob is planning reproduction parts??? Very expensive to have worked on so i have learned to fix alot myself. Actually have considered buying another for spares. May sound extravagant but I have a gut feeling that they will be quite collectable in the future for the reasons above.
I also love the thing so would not consider selling. I would only buy something else thats a little out of left field anyway... and specs would be similar only.
