possibly an sv 1000 ,but the honda build is prefferable than the suzuki way i.e rubbish.the firestorms are cheap as chips as well dare i say it ,,,the sv has a bit of a rep as a ,,,,girls bike ,there ive said it..its not my perception of it (ive had one rem)but the firestorms got a btr name for it self ,,and back to the price thing ,used sv10000s are quite dear compared back to back with a firestorm but in saying that u never know ,,,its gonna b a twin anyway;)

Thats true - suzuki build quality isnt that great. My dad was complaining about the paintwork on his gsxr today...

Firestorm would be a good bike though, but i think the tank range is a bit short? That would be my only gripe if i was considering one

Ive had a firestorm they are great nice very torquey motor although i didnt find the riding position comfortable found it forced my wrists into a funny position! saying that it was comfier than my k3 sv650 i had! get one you will lov it and it wont corrode like a suzuki can.

I've always liked the idea of the Firestorm, but everytime I've seen one I can't help thinking that the designers had a bit of a brain lapse when they were doing the back end.

The SV1000 on the other hand looks much better IMO, how it can be called a girls bike I've no idea......the 650 maybe, but not the thou.

<runs and hides>

Re: firestorm??
 

I dont think any bike is a girls bike

Except maybe pink triumphs....
