Just bought myself an 02 model in blue as my first big bike & what a bike!
After coming from an rgv250 i cant complain about the small tank range
like so many do. Its nice & comfy and quite nippy too so why did i ever want a sportsbike. Hope to have some fun on it

Welcome aboard Jon
That's one big jump from an RGV250 to VTR1000

Hya Jon boy i bet rgv250 to vtr1000 has seen a slight increase in low down power?

It just a littlle quicker !
just not so good round corners, but at least i can ride more than 20 miles without getting a bad back.

Kaz,
Wot are you talking about?
The Storm handles like its on rails made out of blancmange!!!
Even sorted ones are never going to be described as excellent handling, especially compared to something as sharp as an RGV

Allo Jon and welcome too!
RGV! Aah yes- fantastic! Agree with Stormin Ben! It's funny that the RGV and VTR are both sport bikes, but couldn't be more different. It'sa shame the KR1s, RGV, TZRs etc didn't stay around - I guess emission regs put pay to them.
Anyway - welcome!

Im not complaining about the vtr handling its not bad just it 60kg
heavier than what i had before so its taking a bit of getting used
too.
+ it means i can do wheelies if i want
