Lovely tourquey bike, good at just about everything, great all rounder. If you want a well behaved big bike without spending lots of $$$$$ look no further.
Mine is an earlier version with the smaller tank, range is shocking. Also a slipper clutch would be more than welcome.
I love my Honda Firestorm. In fact I have been thinking about upgrading to a new Aprillia RSV however I dont think I could justify the extra $$. This is a great all rounder, cruise comfortably, throw it around and play hard, take the Missus for a Sunday afternoon thrill, it takes it all in its stride. Wish it wasnt so thirsty and a slipper clutch would make it a little more forgiving, However a good riding position, lovely fun engine, tight gear box make this hugely underated bike a winner, definately the most fun bike I have ever owned.
