Sachs 650 thumper

It was blue, my only requirement in a bike

Your bikes should be Green from the bottom and Blue on top. Now that is what I would call camouflage in the valleys.

Oh and the odd white spots which could be either clouds or sheep

I had a SV650S before my storm. Lovely little thing, first big bike. But which would I rather keep.......... the storm of course

The performance and handling are enough for my needs and it makes me happy just looking at it. Lot's of cheapish upgrades available and attainable and of course you lot giving sound advice and chuckles. Can't beat it.

well you can, but is has to be black, yellow, red, teal, orange, shot to bits ......

anyway I had one of these - then gave up bikes for 15 years or so as insurance was too much for a toy I hardly used. It gave me a love of v-twins, so straight onto the Storm when back on bikes and I love it, wouldn't swap it.

A '96 Diversion 600. Thought that was great but since the Storm, turns out it was just transport!

GSX1100R......wrote it off in 2010 on the side of a horsebox. Good bike though. Post Storm, Fireblade which I aint too sure about

I bet that bike had a lot of horsepower.

Was the horse in the box or out of his box.

This forum cracks me up sometimes.

I have had over 45 bikes so far so it is a long list

but last bike on the road was a KTM690 Duke in Black, currently have a bored out GSX750 from the 1980's and a 250 Trials bike that is going to pay for my Firestorm

I get my Firestorm end of the week, only 3 sleeps!

Last bike before the storm was a BMW R1200s the one with underseat pipes and Ohlins etc, have to say it was a much better bike than a firestorm but had to sell it to help fund my racing. I've had over 70 bikes from a CB50 to GSXR1000's. in the stable at the moment are 2 x Yam XJ600's (pre diversion) 1 which i race, 2 x Suzuki Katana's 1 750 other 1230, GSX1100EFE bored to 1230 and the storm

Tbh the storm does pretty much everything a road bike needs to, once i get my Penske shock and fork springs fitted it should be spot on, just got to get my hand out of plaster first

guess i should try this stopper mod thing as i do find myself listening to the engine noises quite a bit, lol.
