I died

Firestorm is a good bike but not that fast and the suspension is rubbish.

I dynojetted mine with a filter and full Akra system which was not cheap.

Ohlins rear shock, rearsets, wavy discs etc etc and I was just about to swap the forks for a set of Blade forks when I thought 'Why am I bothering' and chopped it in for an R1

In short, good bike but flawed.
If you want a sportsbike and are only spending 2-3k then go for a Blade or early R1 imo

If you must have a v-twin then it's not a bad bike bar the points I mentioned, cheap to insure for a litre bike too.
