Modded Storm with Spondon frame and Fireblade engine

[Wicky]

Found this massively modded Firestorm on Aussie site - frame with spondon tubes, shoehorned in a Fireblade engine, ZX9-R tail and front end. Only the original VTR fairing remains with added twin headlights and flush indicators.

Kinda hard to call it a storm when the only "storm" bit is the side rad panels on the fairing, the engine is what makes it a storm?...this would be a blade.

lot of work gone into it and great looking bike though.

In Only Fools and Horses in the episode Heroes and Villains, where road-sweeper Trigger is given a medal by the council for using the same broom for 20 years. He then adds that the broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles. When asked how can it be the same broom, Trigger produces a picture of himself and his broom and asks, "What more proof do you need?"

Nice shiney frame and swing arm.

maybe i should if a firestorm fairing to a busa, then it will be the fastest storm on the block. saves trying to get more power out of the old V twin

[Fireman on a Storm]

I have to say what's the point.
YOU BUY A STORM BECAUSE IT'S A V TWIN!!!!!!!!!

Front wheel is a storm one isn't it ?? Nice bike all the same. Though it does look remakably like the spondonblade in this article

So the only thing Firestorm about it, in the end, is the replica bodywork......

too subtle I guess, lol

FWIW, it looks like he used a Thurn fairing (judging by the dual headlight). I would personally put some red screening over the faux rad openings. Anyhow, it's a sharp looking bike IMO, one I would gladly call my own....
