This is my new (to me) Firestorm, its a 97 with 15000 on the clock, the bike is immaculate, it has carbon Scorpion cans and a carbon hugger, its very loud and I cant wait to take delivery of it on Tuesday.





Anything I should be looking for when I pick it up?

Lyndon

nice
id be looking for a full tank of fuel
the workshop knowledge base sticky section has all the weakness listed .

r/r
suspension linkages
ccts
battery/starter motor

Looks very clean that. You got some anodised bolls in the engine casings as well. cam chain tensioners (CCT's) should be first on your list to upgrade/mod as the storms biggest week point.

(:-})

nice looking bike you have there dude.....
i think stainless steel scorpions would look better on it tho, you wanna swap.........

Looks nice, like the carbon cans

looks like its come fresh out the crate! nice clean storm mate hope the weather picks up abit so you can ride it!

Nice

What to look for when you pick it up? - Open road, blue skies, riding on the right

Do the CCT mods - every owner has a responsibility to preserve parts, don't let your engine die.

What to look for when you pick it up?
Corners coming at you faster then they normally seem to.
Oncoming traffic.
And in my own experience ducks and pigeons.
Have fun....

very nice and tidy mate. id be looking for some parked cars - give the bike a blip on the throttle just to see how many alarms i could set off if its that loud! -- something i use to do in my V8 capri with open headers

nice and possibly the best colour although others would disagree lol

Not mine kidder, my hobby is Polishing, Im well know for making pink cars back to beautiful red, I know what you mean though

This is my bonnet and the flag is on a 30 foot flag pole

holy sh1t we're going to have polishing wars - Wolves, Chric is your nemesis

thats two red owners now into polishing you and chric

This could work out well as I could do with my bike paint getting a serious polish, sounds like a trade at the next workshop day if I sort your CCTs for you
