For SALE: Honda VTR1000 Firestorm. 1999. Silver.

Honda VTR1000 Firestorm. 1999. Silver.

Been thinking about it for a bit, but have finally decided to sell the Firestorm. She's been fun but im looking at something else, Ive owned a Aprilia Falco and RSVR, and I love them both, however Ive decided to get another Falco! I wanted keep the Storm and get a Falco but moneys won't allow now! Will be sad to see her go, I spent a lot of time making her my own.

So...

Owned for 3 years, originally used for commuting but circumstance chanced, and not used often for the past year. Well maintained and good condition. MOT extended due to Lockdown but I will put a new MOT for the right price. Serviced by me, it has been well looked after and in very good condition but has some age-related marks.

Recently put a new rear tyre (less 100 miles) and brake pads, which was advisory on the last MOT. I have only done a few 100mile since the last MOT.

Other new part in time of ownership:

New Starter Motor
New Battery
New Regulator/Rectifier
New Performance water hoses
New Chain
New Sprockets front and back
New Pads, front and back
New Braded brake lines on the front
New Painted forks
Replaced left switchgear with quality used parts
Replaced rear lights with quality used parts
Replaced KMh Speedo face with UK MPH face.

3 previous owners, 2 keys, tool kit, manual and digital manual, V5, all old MOTs.

No known issues with it, she starts, runs, and stops really well. I know she’ll make the new owner very happy.
Test ride welcome as long as you are legal.

Im in Frome, Somerset.

£1700 ono.

See FB listing for images (hope this works)!

Shame, but at least you will be going V twin

Stay around and let us know your progress.

My friend recently sold his Falco, I think he regrets it somewhat.

Thanks bud.

Yeah I kinda regret selling my falco, in the 20 years of riding, the falco was the one I had the most fun on. I was thinking about something I’ve not had before but I had to get vtwin and I can’t think of a better bike for the money.

I always wanted to collect v-twins, but money has never allowed. If it did, the storm would defo be in the collection.

The storm is great. For what I wanted if for it was perfect, reliable, comfortable, and a great sound track. The storm handles well, stops well, and easy and quick to ride. But, it’s just like every other Honda I’ve had, it’s all a bit safe, if you know what I mean! It just doesn’t make me feel special.

The falco, in my opinion is a better bike all round, sharper handling, stops better, and the engine feel loads stronger. And a better tank range! It might not be an everyday bike like the Honda, but it make me feel special. And they are so much fun on the track, I don’t like going super fast, I just like to get my knee down and it’s so easy on the falco.

Sorry to all the fans of the storm, it’s just my opinion ImageImage
