New toy!

http://www.iconoclast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/firestorm.jpg 1998, 14k, MOT until Feb. Bit of history. Nice sounding Microns, braided hoses, tensioners changed last year. Looks like summer use only and kept indoors, it's in remarkable nick, much better than the 2001 I saw the other day. I'd forgotten h...

Re: Buyer's guide

Ok went to see one just now as it's around the corner, 2001 with 19k, no extras apart from an alarm, not ridden for a couple of years except to MOT. Bit disappointed - although maybe I'm expecting too much from a 12 year old. Rust was the most obvious thing, along with tatty alloy. The paint on the ...

Buyer's guide

Hi

I had a Firestorm from new when they first came out but got rid in 2000 or so for something "sensible", looking to get the later version with the bigger tank etc.

What do I look out for, any known issues? What should I pay?

Thanks!

Pete

Born-again newbie...

Hi

Had a Firestorm from new when they first came out, back problems forced me to something more sensible back in 2000 or so, I now have a Vmax I don't ride so am going to try a Firestorm again to see if it revives my interest... :plainsmile
