Hi all just been for a spin and all is exceptional but here's a question the advert for the bike said it was a uk bike with full power might seem dumb but I had a go on my mates firestorm a few year ago but mine seems a lot fitter bout pulled my arms off at quarter throttle do u think its been tuned in any way it has standard pipes.

You will find that every bike feels slightly different even if it's the same model.

welcome to the club. might see you out on the lanes some time when Lloydie amd I are playing tig with Jaguar XKR's over that side of Cov.

as for pulling your arms out you can sometimes find a dip in the power makes it feel stronger when it comes out the other side, but its not more powerfull than a well set up one, but it feels more exciting.

Welcome to a very good and helpful forum, twist gently out of bends while its wet, until you get use to it.

16 tooth front and iirc 41 tooth rear......
could be very impotant if your speedo isn't reading correctly mate, ride with a friend and get them to signal when they're doing 30mph, then check your speedo, its even better if your friend or yourself has a sat nav, you get a more accurate speed measurement....

Hello and welcome... the Honda firestorm handles beautifully ,with power in turns ,
and bends .. show a little respect and bike will look after you, remember to
warm up the engine , then tyres before travel. I fell more settled after
a couple of mins than straight orf so to speak... lovely engine ..good luck
