Even after all these years the VTR still holds its own & is only a second or so slower than much newer machinery to 125mph & hardly any beat it on midrange roll-ons.
Not too shabby at all really

I never believe those 1/4 mile figures, as they never quote how full the luggage is or how much the passenger weighs.bazza696 wrote:CBF1000 102 @ 6000 71.5lb ft @ 6500 11.8sec 134mph

the firestorm would never get to those figures cause you would struggle keeping the front wheel on the ground with luggage and a pillion, I have tried it and couldn't keep up with a Ducati 900SS, had to trail the rear brake to limit the power otherwise I would have flipped it.
990 Duke, is probably the best bike for that but the storm is good. I do miss the v twin thing but the fingers can't hack the vibes for longer than 15 mins these days. Some IL4,s do have the same effect. Kwaks seem to vote with an annoying Buzz. The CB and CBF are fine.countrymick wrote:country roads,the storm carnt be beaten.
