thats the thing though Ian, dealers and garages would probably want close to Â£4500 for that 53, if you do decide to sell i'll take it off your hands for a good price hehe

Just had a look on Auto Trader and I see what you mean about the pricing on 53 reg. I'll probably keep mine now, but if anything changes I will let you know. Keep an eye out on Ebay - some bargains come up on there. This one looks ok:-

I have had 3 Firestorms (all from new) - recommended!

Cheers,

Ian.

I know ebay sounds a bit dodgy, but I bought mine on there a year ago; FX model on a W plate, high mileage (26k), but only Â£1900. One year and 10,000 miles later I'm still as happy as a pig in poo.

The zzr600 that i have now is on a k with 29k, I really want a vtr with fsh and 18+k hehe (after valve service) but below 20k, i dunno, i suppose i will just have to bite the bullet and get one, the only thing with ebay is all teh vtr's are bloody mainly down south like essex lol

The HRC one would probably be one of the last 16 litre tank bikes, If its the orangey HRC paint a load were painted up by dream machine to flog off the old bikes before the new updated storm appeared. Mines one of these and it was painted before it was sold to its original owner. (mines a 2000 on a W, some could have been registered later as storms never sold that fast)
