My first ride on a firestorm

Had my first ride on a vtr today Bloody Fantastic came back to the shop with a huge grin on my face.
The bike fitted like a glove and went around the bends as if on rails.
Jumped on a SV650s after boy what a difference it was all over the place and felt cheap compared to the honda.

Looks like it got to try and fit it in between work. It was a cold day but seemed to take ages for the temp gauge too move

My temp gauge hardly moves at all, unlike the TDM which does seem to have a realistic readout. Same on my Mondeo, hardly ever comes out of the cold (except in traffic jams etc) but its been that way for the last 150,000 miles so I'm not bovvered!

As Long as the bikes moving it'll stay pretty low.
Just wait till the summer and when the fan starts to belt a bucket load of hot air out the side at the traffic lights.
Bet it makes you jump the first time
