    No, just a little over 240k tops what I got on the track at pukekohe.
    she pulls all the way to the redline in all gears. seams to get to 200k quick and from there a slow buildup to 240esh
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    THeyre not that great for consumption but not bad considering the size of the carbs on them(biggest hondas ever put on a bike) mine has stage one dyna jet kit,K&N filter and micron pipes and I can get an easy 240kms averaging 130km/ph.
    The good thing about the storm is its very easy to get after market parts for because its remained unchanged for so long.
    Ebays a great thing

    That was the prototype (hence the name Firestorm), I want to know about the production version.

    Wouldn't belive that, the only it would get to that speed is if you dropped it out the back of a C130 at 30,000 feet.

    I love mine, I commute in Auckland traffic on it everyday. I've got dynojet kit, scorpian cans and it sounds amazing.
    Because it's a twin it's a lot skinnier than the fours hence better at getting between cages
