Default Bike related question. Swap or not?

For those who've been around for a while you'll know I had my heart set on a Firestorm but could not find one. I now have the chance of an 03 yellow one with a whopping 900 miles on it. Will cost me my 03 SV1000 plus about a grand.

What do you think?

Anyone want a silver naked thou?

Tough one. Nobody really wants an SV thou, but nobody really wants a VTR either.

Considered an Aprilia?

Where have you looked for a Firestorm? There are a few on MCN.

There's no accounting for taste.

A bike related question in the GM? What the hell is going on around here?

That's why I put the BIKE related bit in the subject to save offending anyone who may have opened the posting in error nad been shocked to find mention of motorcycles.

Out of interest, anyone interested in a naked thou?
