Hi all,
Here's a big hello to everyone!!!!
Just picked up a 97P with 13000 on the clock which is a minter!!!
Its a bit different to my 600 Bandit I traded in!!! I thought the bandit sounded nice with the stubby I had on but this firestorm with the carbon scorpion cans on takes the biscuit!!!
I look forward to having some good discussions with you lot and also hope to get some good pointers and advice.
Again Hi to all.
Cheers,
Jim.

Welcome aboard Jim
You're the best one to answer your question as it's a personal choice thing IMHO. A big V twin is definitely different than an in-line four. The Storm is all about torque or grunt as you put it, whereas in-line 4's are more about rev's
Nearly all Storm owners on here are bound to say you've done the right thing me included, but we are biased because we luv our Storms

To true mate, hoping to get out on Tuesday if they have got the weather forcast right!!!!
Sure it will be a great ride once I have got to grips with the different power delivery etc.
Thanks for your comments guys.
Cheers,
Jim.

don't be TOO disappointed,will you
Had mine 8 years now and apart from buying a TDM90 for touring, I don't know why I would want a different bike!
