Firestorms were never changed to fuel injection unfortunately, they updated the bike in 2001 but that was for a larger fuel tank, new reg/rec and a new speedo/rev area thing. I'd feel a lot happier with my bike if it was fuel injected

Good to see you got black though, the best colour. Sounds like a very nice price for the bike with those add ons too, they don't sell for a lot but that's always a good thing for a buyer.

Welcome

You would have thought that 2 cylinders were half the fun. Actually they are twice the fun

They average something around 38mpg if you're riding fairly sensibly.. Not the best but also not the worst. Of course if you want fun it gets much worse. It is common for v2's to have less than average fuel economy but not necessary, the KTM RC8 gets better fuel economy than my Hornet for example
