My new ride (SP1)
My new ride (SP1)
As some of you may know, I recently sold my trusty '97 Firestorm of 5 years to get an SP1.... well here she is:
Have only had her a week, and have only been out a couple of times (cos it's been freezing and/or snowing), but I can tell you that she is awesome, and I now know I made the right decision (as I was initially reluctant to sell my Storm).
I won't disappear from this forum, cos it's a great place, and besides, I'm still on a Honda VTR eh
Will have a few Storm bits n bobs up for sale when I get a moment too.
cheers
John

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Re: My new ride (SP1)
I love that bike so much but it would be hard to part with me storm!
If sh1t were money you would be worth a fortune
Re: My new ride (SP1)
hot dam! they are nice arnt they. yours looks a beauty.
when you have had a chance to get some miles in let us know how what living with one is like compared with the storm. i know they handle better and are quicker etc but would be interested what they are like to own and run compared to the storm overall.
wish i could have one of each . would,nt mind one of those triumph daytona 675,s as well. and several others spring to mind

Nice well done as benny said a few little tweaks and it's unstoppable machine
Nice colour choice .
Wish I was smaller so I could fit on one comfortably
Sorry officer
The voices made me do it

Re: My new ride (SP1)
very nice mate is it the euro version that was advertised on fleabay? good price if i remember rightly
4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the soul...........
Re: My new ride (SP1)
Yep it's the euro import version, hence the colour scheme.
Got it for a great price, from an honest seller (got all the right vibes from him if you know what I mean): 18,000 miles, FSH, first registered 2003, bike is near mint - it's certainly been looked after very well during it's lifetime.
Am very happy with it - would have loved to keep the Storm too, but I couldn't possibly justify it!

Re: My new ride (SP1)
Beautiful bike , looks like new, bit of dirt on the front tyre though, .
I'd love a spin on an SP1/2 to compare with the Firestorm. Are there similarities or are they like completely different bikes to ride?
