New Bike With Pics
Hello Folks i finally found a VTR Forum. Well one thats populated anyway.
Well guys i sold my hornet in sept last year it was my first bike and i loved it. as soon as it drove up the road the pit feeling was there already.
how ever on a trip to midland superbikes on sunday. i found the bike that would be my next one. a 2002 VTR Firestorm. i didnt even know the name of this bike and i actually went to see a 954 fireblade. the VTR was tucked away in a corner and it immediatly caught my eye.
id never concidered a firestorm untill now. well i put the deposit down and im picking her up tomorrow.!!!!
and here she is (hope this works)

Re: New Bike With Pics
Yeah I'm very excited my hornet was four cylinder so bit concerned I might not like going to 2 cylinders
Re: New Bike With Pics
Welcome! IL4 to V2, no comparison... you'll love it, after you become best friends with the rev limiter that is! Just check the speedo once in a while....
No bike (yet).
Re: New Bike With Pics
Your wet yourself when you put after market cans on her. I have Vipers on mine, and I have not heard a louder Storm I have come across.
I prefer the sound of it over a Ducati IMO.

Welcome Aboard
It'll feel a bit lumpy and shake a bit but as soon as you drop a gear and pin the throttle you won't stop grinin like a loon for a week!

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
Re: New Bike With Pics
Had an early Hornet for three years myself, then went to the Storm (via a couple of others).
Samish top end bhp, but the Storm definitely feels quicker accelerating, although a bit lazier in the bends.
And sounds a million times better!

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
