Bought a (non firestorm) project

[sgoaty]

I just bought a crash damaged fireblade from a lad I work with.

I did plan to repair and sell it but I think I might grow attached

Its a 54 plate with fairing, headlight peg and clutch master damage. The frame and engine is unmarked and its done 9500 miles.

Im a big lad at just under 6' 6" so i dont know how ill fit on it.

Has anyone ridden one and if so can you tell me how it compares to the Storm comfort wise?

Cheers
Scott

Nice winter project and if you break it up for bits I'll have a butchers at the front end :-)

I'm not as tall as you, but I owned one back to back with my first storm, and didnt find it any less comfy, if that helps ???

modern bikes are designed to be sat on, older bikes are designed for you to sit in, that's why I prefer older bikes.
I rode a friends 07 zx10r, I felt like a circus bear riding a tiny push bike.......
good luck with the project buddy, I hope you got it cheap cheap......

Like it. I think I'd run it next year then sell. By that time you'd be missing the V twin.
