    No character, incredibly thirsty, crazy vibrations at moderate speed. This was an early model one and had less than 30,000k on the clock. Only good thing about it was that it had pretty good acceleration.
    You should have tried the 900. Mine was comfortably quicker than a mates SV1k.

    I am not leaving SASS, just extending my leave.

    No kidding, almost all large capacity 4 pots will beat a V twin, your Firestorm included.

    The hornet 600 just felt like a bargain bin bike, which I suppose it was. Biggest mistake I ever made was buying that damn 600.

    Nor is mine and I've wasted many a Firestorm, so I'd be interested to see how mine would go against yours. I'd put $ on myself for the win as from what you've said, the poor Firestorm has to lug a lot of extra weight i.e. you

    Even bad carpenters have more than one tool.

    Some are better at the job than others with better tools, its all in how you use them.

    The Scorpio is an excellent tool for learning, I just need to do more practise, I like Practising.

    Thanks Guys, nice but somewhat breezy ride tonight.

    I fell in love tonight.

    Fraser, dont crash my bike.

    My poor old Honda was outnumbered by Suzukis.
