Don't see why not, it's a black w reg 2000 plate think last of crabs before changed to injection. It's done just over 23500 miles fall mot six months tax, arrow race cans, nit suer about filter or if it's been jetted, paid £1350. will post pics when i figure out how to.

Firestorms were never changed to fuel injection unfortunately, they updated the bike in 2001 but that was for a larger fuel tank, new reg/rec and a new speedo/rev area thing. I'd feel a lot happier with my bike if it was fuel injected Good to see you got black though, the best colour. Sounds like a very nice price for the bike with those add ons too, they don't sell for a lot but that's always a good thing for a buyer.

You would have thought that 2 cylinders were half the fun. Actually they are twice the fun

Seem to be lots for people saying that their not good on fuel ? but it's only got i small tank and thought most v-twin liked to drink..... or am i wrong ??
but have yet to go for a long ride weather and work always get in the way

They average something around 38mpg if you're riding fairly sensibly.. Not the best but also not the worst. Of course if you want fun it gets much worse. It is common for v2's to have less than average fuel economy but not necessary, the KTM RC8 gets better fuel economy than my Hornet for example

but my good god it sounds nice, noy sure the neigbours will think the same at about half 6.....
