fancy getting a vtr1000 firestorm

Well done mate, you've got by far the smartest and fastest colour. Unfortunately I've moved on, so maybe Kaz is right and you now have the only one on the forum. Mine was 02 registered and was the earlier (faster

) model.

I think manufacturers regularly stockpile bikes, so a year or two pre-reg shouldn't hurt the bike. Saw a Storm last year at Wylie and Holland in Telford being sold as new (and over Â£6000!) and it was the earlier bike. Cheek or what?

For your interest, I bought a new, pre-reg SV1000S, fully faired, zero% finance for under Â£5k late last year. So as you can see, Honda don't really want to shift the Storm. Prats!

I'd like to think that i am the only one on here with that colour, now to get matching hugger and belly pan, save up for a few months and exhaust time hehe

by the way, had a quote from ebikeinsurance, quoted me Â£358 fully comp and that includes my zzr600, so good news all round

Viper has got a teal one, but it's up for sale!

my zzr is black and teal and the teal on the zzr looks nothing like the honda, unless its because my zzr is 13yrs old and the paint has faded lol

OMFG

I cannot believe the change in the sound, it is absolutely THE BEST exhaust note I have ever heard, it is the mutts nuts and when you open her up it is like a symphony orchestra playing at full force, the overrun popping sound is just to die for, to be honest, words cannot describe what it FEELS like to ride, I am so glad I bought a storm and got these cans, my zzr600 sounds like a moped now hehe
