I recall buying a new old model RRX Blade from Padgetts in 05 but it had to be registered as 03, not sure if it had something to do with emmissions :confused
This is interesting and thanks for raising it. I will do some research and give dvla a ring to find out about this when i get a free afternoon.

Id say the cam chain tensioner would be fine as its only the same as the part being in a box in warehouse. As for the warranty i am going to speak to our Honda used guarantee provider. If it would not come with Honda warranty then we would pay for a 2 year one so it would be the same cover as a new bike. You should pop over for a coffee and some fish and chips! Yes we are in long Eaton.

+1 on that, I really don't see why some are getting hot and bothered by it, or making inappropriate comments*, it just allienates the forum and makes it come across as clique (spelling?). (*sorted now though i see :thumbup: )

I don't feel this bike is that special, it was a model made up by Honda uk, and has essentially some nice-ish (at the time) bolt on parts, It was released at a time when Honda were struggling to shift firestorms so partly it was done to shift 50 units, any connection with russell savory has long gone and his involment was only brief (as opposed to the likes of v&m or Harris for example). would be interesting to know what sort of warranty it'll have and who with ?, lets say i bought it and the shock seals/fork seals etc leaked, is my local honda dealer going to fix it or do i have to return it to you ?, I think it's maybe like buying a 11 year old second hand bike with no miles and a new plate, are the tyres going to be changed ?. An imaculate low mileage (sub 5000mile) 05 Storm would fetch maybe £3750 tops at a main dealer and much less private. With some good upgrades it might command a little more?(or less !), this particular bike in my opinion should sell for £5000-5500, I know that seems low but can't see anyone putting hands in pockets for any more.. I guess some collector could come along and pay more for it, but they''ll be waiting a very very long time for it to be a classic.

Other anniversary models don't really hold any special value, they might on a good day get a little more but thats all, eg, the vfr800/blackbird/cbr600 versions

It's not that easy to sell on older-new bikes, Padgetts still advertise new GSXR1000k3/4 models they've had them for sale for a couple of years and no takers, Nobody wants them, they get nearly new newer models for tha same money. Hope you see where I'm coming from mr Pidcock
Hi, Thanks for the post. Will be checking on the warranty side of things as im not quite sure wether it will be honda used guarantee or manufacturers warranty. Good question on the tyres though. We will be changing both tyres and doing full fluid change (oil, coolant and brake fluid).

A mint early Blade, maybe a zero-miles SP1, maybe they're collectable, but no-one's daft enough to put a Storm on a plinth over their mantelpiece.
Try the VJMC.

For less than that money you should be able to build a new one from new old stock parts, surely?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
