Hi Pete. It's a '98. The riding position is alright. Fits ok (I'm 6'). VFR750 clip ons fit (with a slight fairing mod), but, mines on standard clip ons and footrests. As regards V Twins, most of the bikes I've owned have been 4 cylinders across the frame. This is the first V I've owned. It's the 20th Anniversary of the 'Storm this year. There's a meeting of 'Storms to commemorate this at the Birmingham Motorcycle Museum on Saturday 15th July.

Still on two wheels after first riding a bike forty years ago! My mate had a Suzuki AP50 and that was the first of many bikes I've thrown my legs over (although I'm now at the age where leg throwing isn't quite so easy lol). This is my current weapon of choice. Spent £lots on this bike to get it how I want it, but, don't tell the wife!!

Waiting to hear from Nottingham, GCR Loughborough and Burton on Trent and a couple of others. Maybe TLLC?

Looking good, Neil. Nice attention to detail m8.

I offered to take it off their hands for the duration of the Silk Mill refurb. Some body has already staked a claim

Nice looking layout. Love the OHLE.

After listening to the sound of the water I was in need of the loo!

Hi Katy. It's a '97 with the 17in wheels. Not my usual choice for a bike, but the price was right Alan

I love this topic! I've ridden motorbikes for nigh on forty years. To me it's a way of life. Heavily involved in Road Racing as a technical official. TBH never really liked the older stuff (British) until a few years ago when I got involved with the classic and vintage side of the racing. After taking early retirement in December last year, I had to find something to keep me occupied (other than model railways and housework)! Much to the wife's disgust I've suddenly gone from one bike to five! I must add that three of these are projects that, when finished will be sold on to fund the next project(s). At present I have got: 1) Honda VTR1000 Firestorm that I refurbed between November 2015 & March of this year and is my main bike. 2) Honda 400 Bros. Jap import, unregistered. Just done an engine transplant and waiting for the tank to comeback from painter. 3) Suzuki GSXF750. Another engine transplant! Who said Japanese bikes don't leak oil? 4) Honda VFR400. Bought as a 'box' of bits and is now probably 90% complete. and 5) Kawasaki GPZ500s. 8200 mls from new bought on Sunday. Needs a little bit of fettling but its got a years MOT on it and is usable.
