Re: firestorm 50th anniversary

Well guess whats up for sale again.
Nice to see the rise in price though as I have one that's got 17000 on the clock and is super original.

Re: my 50th anniversary storm

Re: anyone got 10 grand going spare!!

I have a guy near by who is interested but if not Ill put it on evilbay and see what happens...I just prefer not to sell it by ebay and ...

Re: anyone got 10 grand going spare!!

I looked at this and thought my 17,000 mile LE storm has to be worth £5000...lol . Really what would you say would be a fair price, Ive had it two years, done 1500 miles only, (I know but my new camping business means I have had no time to get out there) its in great condition but has no history, a...

Re: No 16 of 50

Well it's time for the storm to go....due to a big holiday coming up I have to look at selling my vtr. I'm hoping you will all convince me not to sell it and possible sell a kidney instead.

Re: No 16 of 50

Hi My mate has just been given a 50cc Honda. Really ruff but under all the crap we found a sticker, its only a 50th anniversary edition bike. Honda must of made a lot of anniversary bikes. I know they did a VFR 800, CBR600, Blackbird, it would be nice to know what other models they made. Loving my b...

Re: First ride on a VTR1000 - Im in love...

Hi Mick Last night was my first proper 100 mile ride... As you i was amazed at how little i used the brakes. What i found great was the way i could leave it in 4th on A roads and over take lines of traffic with so much ease. I likes the way when i slipped back into the line of traffic i just let the...
