Route to the Storm
I was just wondering what sort of bikes us Firestorm owners have had prior to the VTR1000. And just for fun, put what bike you think you'll have after the Firestorm (will I be banned for this? ).
My own history is quite sparse due to a gap of 8 years between a 125 at 17 and passing my test.
1990-91: 1983 Kawasaki AR50
1991-93: 1990 Honda NS125R
2001: 1987 Honda CBR400R Aero
2002-3: 1994 Kawasaki ZXR400L3
2007: 1993 Kawasaki ZZ-R600E1
2007-: 1997 Honda VTR1000 Firestorm
Next Bike: Honda VTR1000 SP-2 or 2003/4 Kawasaki ZX-6R

The Storm is deffo gruntier but to my shame i found the TRX actually handled better on the twisties....but as far as twin charecter goes they are both full of it and fun to ride.
If i was offered a good TRX in a swap for the VTR i could be persuaded to go back to one...i could ride the TRX much faster
