Firestorm in the news

Post by ItsaKeeper »

Not sure if it is news but I just read this month's (July) classic motorcycle mechanics and the firestorm gets a modern 'makeover'. Not sure of the single swing arm idea but the imagined bodywork looks quite modern. They don't have anything new to say about the bike but at least it is not being forgotten :think:

If it is a new V2 firestorm it will be interesting to see if anything has been done with the cct’s.

I read the article online via pressreader so am not able to copy the image :(

I did take a screen shot of the main picture and then crop it in MS Paint but I have no idea how to add it :oops:

You're nearly there :thumbup:

Click (or touch depending on which device you're using) on "Post Reply". Then click/touch "Add Image to post" as I have pointed out in the screenshot below in red ink, you should be able to follow the rest okay:

Wasn’t this from the series Kar Lee came up with for a variety of bike mags? If they did it now it would be a parallel twin🤮
