Hello Folks,
I'm also a long time admirer of the Firestorm and have waited many, many years to get one. The good news is I picked one up two weeks ago and have not stopped grinning since. She's a lovely example, registered in 2002 (but without the LED clocks) in a pristine and unadulterated condition - except for some after market pipes - and with only 9k miles on the clock. The other good news is since I bought her I've become the third largest shareholder in Shell Fuels by virtue of how much petrol I've put in her over a 14 day period. Jobs a good 'un.
I should also admit at this point that this bike is blue-ish (or teal as my misses would say). Does that exclude me from this site?
I love the site and look forward to making to a ride-out real soon.
Cheers
S'O'S.
Avert your eyes - it's teal.

Ah yes teal the main reason why it has such low milage...the previous owners were just far too embarrassed at being seen out on it in public.
I bet most of them miles were done in the dark...

Ah the only time all the teal owners come out of the woodwork
Welcome, you could always paint it Buttercup Yellow, much better and it's far more attractive.
