I always get a little concerned when I hear the words in a rush or hurry to sell. Probably nothing to worry about, but check out everything including the paperwork before parting with your hard earned. The anniversary model had a Proflex shock and Harris rear set footrests, plus some other extra's which I can't think of right now, different end can's iirc.

The price sounds fair without actually seeing the bike IMO,

Chris.

I paid £2100 for my anniversary 'Storm about 2 months ago (14k, near mint with all the bits). Then spent a bit more on manual CCTs and getting the servicing up to scratch. Maybe a bit over the odds but I really really wanted it ... and I love it to bits :)

I don't think they are worth anymore than a regular firestorm unless they are low mileage, immaculate and untouched. Unfortunately there are very few left with all the original parts left on them. They don't seem to be a collectors item like the SP's.
