Mines a 98 model, it is an american import, which I think is identical to the UK bike except there is no light switch on LH controls, lights are on permenant 8) it in good nick for its age, I've put a hugger on, scottoiler, bar raisers and double bubble, I'd like after market cans when I can afford. 15500miles
Colour! RED :twisted: the only colour

Mines a 99 and been really reliable so far. I think they tend to be reliable bikes though, i never heard any complaints about em.

Mines a 96 made registered 97 with 30000 miles on clock was looking bit tired but out of all the bikes ive owned zx9r,zx7 and even a brand fire r1 when i was in the money or debt more like the old storm is my favourite.It just makes me grin from ear to ear like nothing else.
Colour was yellow but at painters soon to be pearl black to go with polished frame forks swing arm and chromed bits.

Dream garage (thread hijack feature)

Without a doubt a Ducati 1098 after having sat on one at the weekend. A bike made for 'normal' 6' 2" tall riders!!!

It's a 'V' twin of course too. :D
