VTR Firestorms
 
I may be crossing to the darker side....:batman: sorry!

Been looking at a few VTR Firestorms and now I just have to have one...:smt083

Found a nice 50th anniversary one which would be very nice as and when the SV sells :) I'll still be hanging around here though! :smt019

The big twin lures me!

Out of interest anyone ever owned one?

Please make sure you've got enough fuel - Viper!!

they are real thirsty, worked with a guy who had one and he was lucky to get 100 out of a tank, but he did go everywhere in 2nd gear ;)

Pretty much what Viper gets out of his. Its fine if you are scratching or having a ride out with mates. It gets to be a pain in the bum ( his words not mine ) if you are touring or on a long rideout. I can see him getting twitchy about fuel when we've done 90 miles or so.

Tank range is not the best.

The insurance on a TL was way too much and the SV1000 are too expensive for me I am afraid. I dont ride like that much of a loony, so hopefully they arent that thirsty!

I only get about 140miles out of a tank on the SV before the light comes on though..
