Had the bike for year or so now, just recently very occasionally when waiting at traffic lights, when it goes orange and I start to move the engine misses a nano second beat, then picks up with a bit more twist. Is this a vtwin cycle type thing, or a simple tweak required. The idle speed is ok I kno...

My 10 year old asked how quick a firestorm gets from 0-60, watching Top Gear with this Bentley doing it in 4 point something seconds for an obscene price tag.

Never timed it myself!

Or is that just bent

Or shall I just shut up?

Orange Storm joining the A331 from Frimley, Surrey heading toward Aldershot afternoon 28th Nov

Don't know if there any other southern poofters like me, Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, perhaps meet for a Sunday bacon roll somewhere, perhaps gatecrash an Austin Allegro meet or a Tupperware party!!
Stonehenge car park would please some of the Japanese tourists.

Beowulf cans back on.....check
R&G Heated grips on.....check
Oil and filter.....check

Happy as f@&k

Quick sprint down the motorway.... Exhilarating

Very nice, just a shame it's not yellow

Nice to welcome another Southern poofter to the forum. Had mine 11 months, should have got one ten years ago!! We could meet perhaps next Spring, any excuse for a blat, perhaps to Abingdon Honda. Scare ff all those gimps purchasing their shiny new Crossrunners for £12k. When they could have saved £1...

Yeah, was thinking about the ear plug solution, may get some moulded as standard ones always fall out.

Will certainly get the race cans back on though.

Thanks for the comments

So, IAM not technical, don't really understand why.......but. Had the firestorm for 11 months now, just had the beowulfs taken off, originals put on. Just wanted to see what the difference was. My findings..... The original cans are obviously heavier ( although I don't notice this whilst knocking 80...

That cheap shop called Tiger. Got one for fifteen squid. Comes with waist buckle as well.

Try riding above 40mph!! Then your back won't hurt. Bizarre how at 6' 1" I find the Storm perfect, no backache, no windblast whatsoever.

Would have looked better in yellow of course!!

Glad Farnborough staying. Top bloke in charge there. All I own is HG.
