Mille Beater

Just picked up my Black 99V Firestorm, just run-in with 10k on the clock, virtually stock apart from braided front lines.
I'm gobsmacked by the low-down grunt......it blows away my old Aprilia Mille R, which was revvy and not so usable on the road; and it's a HONDA! - so it should be infinitely more reliable than an Italian twin! It's certainly more comfortable even though I'm 6'2" and sounds better......and then there's over-run!!! Sounds like you're being chased by thunder - It's so addictive rolling on and off the throttle.
Getting about 40-45mpg taking it easy, so rumours of poor economy and tank range aren't an issue.
A Honda with a soul!...........now where's my keys
