I've ridden a RF900 and that was a very good bike tbh.

The engine was very impressive :thumbup:

Had my Firestorm from new 2001
Still have CB400t 1978 bought in 1980 for £200 ...undergone a few cosmetic changes over the last year or two...done a "zillion" miles but never had to push it home :D
Not worth pushing home, surely :D
That's cost you about £8 a year!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

If I still had all the bikes that i've had nicked in the last 10 years, I would have a list nearly as long as manxmans :( . However it is just the storm for me at the mo, but will be looking for a decent winter hack in the near future. :thumbup:

How do you think the motor compares to the Storms Bob?

Only ask as I had the TL.

Timbo wrote:No mate, that was a "hello Bob, you are still around, good to see you back" BOB :) Apart from the back lights, nowt against the SV mate. But i cant take to the tail light cluster on them, was the same with the backend of the RF, though the SP isnt much better :)
Steady... :eek2 :lol:

The SP rear light cluster is funny tbh :lol: looks like a complete after thought-which it probably is :think: But it serves its purpose.

The bike was never ment to have lights and indicators I suppose. Looks like the guys at honda got pissed off and stuck too match boxes together :)

Don't mind the SV's LED set up tbh.

The RF just looks HUGE!!!

I'm not so keen on the SZR back ends (like, the whole tail unit...) they look very odd...:crazy:

had 6 bikes since the storms but i think the sv is a bit faster,no worries about cct's,no pissing about with choke that wont stay out, other than that its just down to looks & i like the back lights :D

(actually, that one isn't mine but it's the same in all respects)

Done...As some know I have had a few in the last 2 yrs and may have some more in the future but the SP is a great bike.
