Beautiful in factory yellow colour and these are a great bike to ride.
This bike is Vic Club Plate eligible.
Riding a Firestorm is all about surfing that glorious mid-range. With about 100bhp at the back wheel, it isn’t fast in the modern context and it grumbles and rumbles at low rpm. But when an engine makes such satisfying shunt between 4000 and 8000rpm you can forgive it anything.
It makes for an effective bike too – letting you bellow past lines of cars without changing gear, exhaust echoing as it passes. It may look conservative, but the Firestorm is anything but conventional.
It uses 90s-spec carbs (at 48mm the biggest ever fitted to a production bike) and has side-mounted radiators to help keep the wheelbase short to negate the inherent length of a V-twin. To help with this, the swingarm is mounted on the back of the engine rather than the frame.
The Firestorm's engine is well tried and tested in a number of 1000cc Honda v-twins (such as the SP-2), it thunders out mountains of low to midrange grunt, powe through traffic or around corners. There’s less up top than a full-on sportsbike but the Honda VTR 1000F Firestorm’s more of an all rounder and the engine does the job beautifully. The fuelling is absolutely seamless, even two decades later.
