Hi all

I'd just like to introduce myself to the forum and show off my new pride and joy!

I've moved up from a CB500 which was my first bike and I'm loving every second of v2 power. Stumbled across firestorms because of they're curiously low insurance costs for young riders (I'm 20) but glad I did.

8000 miles from new and totally standard (for now anyway)

I look forward to dealing with you all in the near future. I'm already I need of some tyre advise haha

Welcome to the forum. Nice looking storm you have. Plenty of mods to do with it being standard. Make sure you read up in the knowledge base to find what you need to do first to give you trouble free riding :thumbup:
