Just thought I'd share this for our SP owners. Pretty nice results for the SP1/SP2 in the Ride Magazine reader survey this month.
In the "Most Reliable" category, 1st!
In the "Best Gearbox" category, 1st!
In "Best Build Quality" it came 2nd behind the Fireblade.
Unsurprisingly it did not feature in the "Lowest Running Costs" top 20.
Nice nod to an older model bike, though, beating the likes of the S1000RR.

Re: Ride Magazine Survey
Sorry, but build quality on the SP1 is in a different league ( IMO ) to the blade. Had both, and both were good, but the SP was a f**king work of art!!
Bikes were built better in that era, most have gone downhill since, although I still think Honda lead the way. I truly believe that Firestorms are much better put together than a lot of bikes of today, and they're a bit of a ' budget bike '.

Re: Ride Magazine Survey
think the Storm came 140th or something from memory
although it did feature as one of their second hand bargains a month or so ago
