I bought my orange Firestorm in Sept for £1500 with 29k on the clock. After a little bit of TLC and removing the add ons the previous owner thought looked good, the bike looks fantastic. I had a ZZr600 before which was quicker but not as much fun to ride as the VTR. It handles really well and has given me alot more confidance to lob it around corners etc. Power on it is superb and like everyone says - sounds excellent. The only down side is the fuel consumption but who cares and the build quality is a bit poor in places i.e corroded nuts/bolts and parts of frame are a bit rubbishy. You just need to take a bit of time and clean up.
Overall the suspension is top dollar, engine is 10/10, and I have got my interest back in going out on long rides - Well done Honda - would recomend it to anyone

The Honda Firestorm is a very relaxing and easy bike to ride quickly. An inexpeienced rider will probably be quicker on it compared to a blade or R1 just because it is so easy to ride.
+ lower insurance group than other big 1000cc bikes but with same torque making it a very useable road bike.
- small tank, quite thirsty on fuel.
Summary: Had mine for 9 years and still no plans to replace. Recommend to anybody unless you have track day experience and ability to ride sports bikes to their limit ...- Read Guest's review (102 words)

What can I say! I passed my test May 08 on an Honda CBF500, went out and without really riding it, bought a Suzuki GSX! DOH, rode hard and uncomfortable and never got to grips with that lying forward position being almost 6'tall.I never got on with my Suzuki so it has sat in the garage for a year whilst I thought about selling it.
Which brings me to the here and now! I sold my Honda08 plate to a guy who shipped it to Malta and whilst I knew this was going ahead,I got to scouring the net for my ...- Read Guest's review (724 words)

The Honda VTR1000 Firestorm 998 has more usuable power than the inline 4`s in my opinion.I had a 2000 R1 which was faster than the storm but i never felt as confident as i do when i ride the storm.It still feels really quick but i feel like im taking it for a ride rather than it taking me for ride like i did on the R1.
The only downside of the bike is the 16 litre tank,i know they put a larger one on the later models but it`s still not enough.You really have to be careful riding out of town in r ...- Read Guest's review (160 words)

awesome sound with staintube pipes, havent had no troubles yet but only done 10,000 ks, have found when over a certain speed the air hits chest and starts pushing helmet off of head you have to lay down on tank to stop this or maybe buy different screen, which i will try and as everyone else says fuel consumption but who cares when having so much fun. but i still love this Honda VTR1000 Firestorm 998 bike which is a nice matt black color- Read Guest's review (82 words)

The Honda VTR1000 Firestorm 998 is very good for around town. Fast, low and go. Its nick name is the street fighter. Outside of town, small tank and cheap seat.- Read Gothom's review (75 words and 1 comment)

sold my CBR and bought a Honda VTR Firestorm, changing to a v2 was the best decision I made, I love it and wouldn't change it for anything.

The Honda VTR1000 Firestorm 998 does all I have asked from track day to distance tourer. Wheelies like a demon on a fast take-off. The luggage options are few thank goodness.
As always - short tank range. Also gets hot in slow traffic on a sunny day - its the fan.
Still get a kick out of taking it out of the garage. Second bike is an R1200GS for touring with pillion, getting back on the yellow peril always feels like Ogri on a mission. There are faster bikes and braver pilots but this one has ...- Read wirewheel's review (99 words)

Fantastic torque, very good power, great handling - solid in corners, thin for going through/between traffic. Quite light. Good wind shielding. The ultimate point and squirt commuter.
Styling: What Sonja the Red Warrior Princess would look like if she was a bike.
Reliable, cheap to service and maintain.
Extremely capable bike, with only niggly bad points that can be planned around.- Read Guest's review (85 words)

A fantastic bike which can be had for a bargain. £1200 - £1500 will get you a clean example of this superb 1000cc v-twin. The bike is a joy to ride. Smooth and predictable engine and handling means that it's unlikely to spit you off like its much harsher rival, the TL1000. It's not the fastest bike around and will be trounced by may modern 600's in straight line performance. That's not what the bikes about though. This means it's unlikely to have been owned by a nutter, so most exa ...- Read yellowstorm's review (300 words)

Next weekend a bunch of us are heading down to the Gap (Tennessee) and yes we are riding from Ontario. No trailers!

I've just began riding again after an 11 year break, My last bike was a very old yam 350LC, but am now a lot older can afford the insurance and to run both car and bike so I thought why not. I ' ve had my VTR 1000 Firestorm about 2 months now, mainly for commuting (didn't know about the fuel range before I bought) basically I looked through the web and just decided to buy one. 2 reasons First I wanted a Hondo just purely for the reliability factor and 2nd its looks just blew me away.
