Awesome. Glad you are liking it. It looks the mutts.
What's happened with the Storm. You still have that for the V2 grunt right?

Re: bastid bike delivery :/
yeh matey ive still got the storm - when i get round to putting it back together... will probably be on a back burner til my claim comes in tho.
got 622 miles on the blade now.... total average 49mpg, which means every 100 miles it saves me £8 in fuel lol!
awesome in every way. very happy with it.

Re: bastid bike delivery :/
Benny does it have the soul like the SP did? As your review says, it does everything faultlessly & that's what it was build for,,, but,,, will you eventually miss that rawness that the SP delivered similar to ridding an untamed stallion compared to a well trained cob. Time will tell

it depends what you call soul???darkember wrote:Benny does it have the soul like the SP did?
imo its the rider that has character, not the bike!
if i do miss the vee i will take the firestorm out - best of both worlds

thing is, these things have so much torque its hard to compare the 2 -
sp = 105nm @ 8000
blade = 115nm @8500

i really didnt expect that. the way it pulls is amazing.... i thought i would be slower on the blade but er, no!

and when you think, over 600 milodes its averaged 49mpg... its saved me £48 in juice so far!

on the average consumption gauge ive seen it as high as 29miles / litre - which is 132mpg!!

that's a bit of an eye opener !! another 50 or 60 horsepower and more economical, wtf does a firestorm do with all that petrol ??

Re: bastid bike delivery :/
If it were me, I would have helped them push the Sp1 onto the back of the van, to get the blade
I want another within a year or two but I want similar year to your, the RRX was awsome but the newer one are mental, and after riding the newer ones it kind of felt a little disapointing riding an older one.

It's was a bit of a bruiser the RRX gained alot of bulk though it's years the blade before slimming down again for the fuel injected 929 then 954StormingHonda wrote:If it were me, I would have helped them push the Sp1 onto the back of the van, to get the blade![]()

Re: bastid bike delivery :/
The thing is the RRW and RRX in my oppinion to look at are the best years, they look brutal and dont age to much, however I didnt like the 16 inch wheel it made the handling feel horrible during the winter, and a bit off during the summer.seb421 wrote:It's was a bit of a bruiser the RRX gained alot of bulk though it's years the blade before slimming down again for the fuel injected 929 then 954StormingHonda wrote:If it were me, I would have helped them push the Sp1 onto the back of the van, to get the blade![]()

The power on the newer ones are absoloutely mental, however the older ones can lose your liscence in easily to.
Would still have the RRX now, but had to give it up to complete the deal for the Harley I got now.

I know yours is newer but the power difference is fairly minimal, and mine will no way lift in 3rd or 4th. It will just about lift on the power alone in 2nd when up to 8k-12k revs, but not very high, not like a 1st gear power wheelie.
How do you get it to lift in higher gears? Do you have to get it off in 1st then just keep it up?
