afaik, my 'storm has stock gearing, and my GPS is reporting 136mph as the max speed I did recently. I Don't recall maxing out the revs at any time, so i'm guessing there's plenty of life left in there.

Engine's stock, only got some race cans on, and that's it.

Being new to the firestorm, infact a V twin is the immeadiate power with a twist in 5th :D , I thought my vfr was instant but once again I have learnt something amazing today, plus the handling is outstanding, even after my yzf 750. Only had 110 out of my P&J so far but I'm still courting :oops:
