She's home..... New Bike

[pinkyfloyd]

Well today I picked the new bike up and initial thoughts were impressive. Seems a lot more agile than the Firestorm even though they are around the same weight. The sitting upright will take some getting used to but it was seriously comfortable.

Are those BT021's on there, fitted to stone age bikes Change them

Looks very nice though, do like

Is it brand brand new, if so, how are you running in? Faggot dealer method or Mototune super power method?

[pinkyfloyd]

They are indeed 21's and as for running it in. I'm going to ride it.

Nice colour scheme, let us know how it handles once you've 'run it in' and giving it a bit more

If that's at least as good as my FZ6, I'm sure you'll be very happy!

[pinkyfloyd]

[Tungtvann]

Looks really nice though, I like the matt black and belly pan.

Andy, I had already put the deposit down before that post. Took 8 days from deposit to pick up.

Looks nice, get rid of the 21's though, worst tyre I've ever had.

Almost got one of these, but opted for a FZ6. They're nice bikes though and believe they're marketed Stateside as FZ6R's? Enjoy!

[yaigi]

Very nice, I'm very happy for you

A nice new bike that looks 80% as nice as an FZ6, but without some of the extra nice features of the FZ.

If your Storm had race cans and re-jetting to suit, I think your going to really miss it for the sound more than anything! Those 48mm Carbs coupled with open exhausts certainly gave them some bloody character and upset a few car alarms too!

[pinkyfloyd]

Stevo. The Storm was standard. Nothing done to the engine, OEM cans on it. I will miss the storm I am not getting rid of her because I dont want to keep her. Shes going because I am getting too old, its uncomfortable to ride around town and I do not get the riding out of her she diserves. Already this thing beats it hands down for turning circle and town riding. Was out today and it was great. I had to stop myself turning into a side street at 30mph. It was a 90 degree turn and I have new tyres!

Nice purchase Pinky Pinkerton!

Does she ride well?

What's all this 'she' bollocks about?

Anyway, very shiny. I can't believe they're still lobbing new bikes out the door with 021's on though. Infact, if you want a spare front, I've got a practically new one you're welcome to.
