My eyes were only for the Firestorm. The only other consideration was an SV1000 but in my opinion they look crap. Oh, there was a Tuono nearby but the Firestorm was half the price and made by Honda.
I only picked it up on Monday but riding the short journey home i knew this was money well spent.
It feels so modern to me (previous bike was 1986 and US import

The exhausts are rather fruity. The kids were excited and waiting for me to return with a new bike, so when i did, they just looked terrified and betrayed.
Been working away all week so haven't ridden it since picking it up

I can't wait to ride it again and learn the handling and the engine.
I'm fairly mechanically minded and like to service and fix things myself, but i'm hoping i won't need to fix anything too soon....
