New Firestorm owner
Hi, bought my 97 VTR1000F last week...
Only 20,000 on the clock, love her so far...
Just wish this weather would improve so I can get to know her a bit better!!!

You don't have to wait for the weather, these bikes have a nice gentle power delivery and so are useable in snow and ice, just watch out for the rear locking when downshifting quickly.
A hand over the clutch is all that's needed in slippery conditions.
Spares are readily available, so no need to worry.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Ha! Yeah, she's been pretty forgiving so far but the road outside my house is currently a fast flowing river! ![🤣](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f923.svg)
