The Firestorm was Honda’s take on a big capacity V-Twin sports bike, and proved the basis for the VTR SP-1 and SP-2 bikes that took Ducati on at their own game in World Superbikes, and beat them..
..the motor was a 90 degree V-Twin of 996cc capacity, and developed 110bhp with a decent amount of torque as is characteristic of the design. It all proved enough for a sub 11 second 1/4 mile time, and a top speed in the mid 150s
This particular bike was modified to an incredibly high standard by a previous keeper during the Covid lockdown period, both in terms of cosmetic and mechanical enhancements. Known to us, both he and his father loved their bikes, and had great capability between them, thus ensuring the overall resultant quality evident today
Cosmetic enhancements included a huge amount of beautifully polished parts, such as swingarm, billet top yoke, fork lowers, exhaust hangers (with laser etched Firestorm insignia) rearsets, and various bolts and fasteners. Powdercoated rear subframe and front screen/indicator mount. Powdercoated white wheels, with as new Bridgestone S22 tyres, and decals feature, including front number board, with a race cowl, custom seat with VTR insignia and red piping, Renthal grips, clear rear brake lamp with integrated indicators, flush mount front indicators, stainless mesh to fairings, and a light tinted screen
Mechanical modifications included a custom fabricated Fireblade style swingarm with rear shock spacer, lightened flywheel, manual cam chain tensioners, Gold DID chain with new sprockets (+2 teeth rear) new wheel bearings, rebuilt brake calipers with SBS pads and braided lines, Brembo radial front brake master cylinder and lever, rebuilt clutch master/slave cylinders, rebuilt rear suspension linkage with new bearings and seals, twin Micron carbon exhausts with custom high level mounts, new genuine Honda petcock, new fork seals and fluid with K-Tech linear springs, raised bars and all new fluids and filters including K&N air filter
The end result is a quite stunning bike, that needs absolutely nothing at all, and is surely one of the very best Firestorms to be found. In beautiful, headturning condition, this is a characterful machine, quite unique, that looks and sounds fabulous, as well as being an absolute hoot to ride. Quite wonderful….
