Smile New Bike

At Last!!
I picked up my new bike on Thursday! A new Honda VTR1000 Firestorm. I've done 300 miles so far, and it's even better than I thought. It's my first V twin after years of Jap fours, and I'm really loving it. Of course all you Harley riders will understand what I mean. The Firestorm feels a lot more powerful than the 110 bhp they claim, and the handling and brakes are outstanding. I'm taking it touring in Spain in 2 weeks. Can't wait. Here's a pic.

Sweet, sounds like you're having a blast with the new scoot. Have fun and keep us posted on your rides with the new toy. Later.

Good to hear you got your new bike...sounds really nice , and powerful. V-Twins are a different ride that's for sure. I hope you have many, many safe enjoyable miles with your new "scooter"

Default I've a new respect

for you guys who ride these aggressive **** rockets. I went to a track with a friend who used to race them a few weeks ago. That really looked like fun to me. It's not touring or the heels forward thing that I've always loved-but it IS riding and it's some skilled riding at that. Ride-On and keep on lovin' it, Bro-ITW
