you could make one decent bike from the two, and sell the rest of the parts, probably get your money back aswell, but you have to factor in the time and costs involved, because an average condition late 90's storm is only worth about a grand at this time of year.

Gutting that, the Hound has cost me all of that so far with more to spend yet!! (Mind you, it is black so much more desirable.....)

if only I had the space, I'd make one very average bike and sell it for £800/900, then I'd have
1x ohlins shock
1x wp rear shock
remus hi levels
blue exhausts :sick:
wavy discs
wp worked front forks
spare bodywork
24k engine and loads of spares
just wish I had a garage or secure lockup.... :thumbdown:

Gutted I bid £1,500 for them but someone obviously wanted them more than me.
I was after the shocks then sell bikes on to get my money back :thumbdown:

Ah, get in mate - nice one :thumbup:

Want to swap the low mileage one for a nice black, vaguely Firestorm-shaped, motorbike jigsaw?? One careful owner (5 sh1t ones)
