Difference between FireStorm and SuperHawk
As the title says what's the difference?
Joe |
The Firestorm has 10 more horsepower.
No, not really. |
stickers.....and.....um..........more stickers.
|
Think about it.. Firestorm... if you were a SUPER Hawk, you would be the one bird out there, besides maybe a Phoenix, to survive a fire storm (storm of fire) while flying around.
Just a thought Just kidding |
Stickers, a few smog item's that we Europeans never bothered with and a larger tank in the 01 onwards years... That's about it...
|
Yummmm.... larger tank. Yes, please!
|
I also hate having a small tank, so I converted the back tire into an aux tank. Works out well until it gets about half empty. Balance gets kind of sketchy after that.
|
Well have fun looking...:)
They go for up to 500€ used on German or UK eBay... That would be around 750$... plus shipping... (About 1000$ new here in Sweden) That is if you through a small miracle happen to find one... I have been looking for a while now... I'm thinking I'll go for a VFR one instead... that's even bigger plus it's a lot easier to find and cheaper...:) |
I have UK spec carbs on my bike.....has a simple "X" head on the air mix screw and requires no special tools or drilling to get to. A great $175 spent!
|
If you've got $1800USD to burn...

No offense, but it would seem to me that it would be a little bit more, um....economical to just buy the Euro mixture screws and have them sent across the pond.

i don't have the urge to mod like that, don't have 1800 bones, either lol!
it's *somewhat* inconvienent to fill every hundred, but not that much... nor this much: http://www.eti-fuelcel.com/VTR.HTML 5.3 gallons $1235 |
No running lights on the front signals on the Firestorm.
|
performance of VTR varies between Europen acountries as well---from 78kW to 81kW..donīt know why
|
Usually for insurance purposes... Some countries had in the late 90'ies rules that made it a lot cheaper to register and insure a big displacement "sportstourer" once it was restricted... the only difference is a small ring in the carb rubber inlet...
Also some rules regarding what licence was required to operate a restricted vs non-restricted bikes in some countries... In Sweden many of them came factory restricted to 72kW... |

I wish I'd thought of that;) I had a problem removing the cap on my emissioned carbs.The drill slipped and gouged out the carb casing. I looked for a parts broker.....and 2 days later a set of almost new carbs at my door step in Newquay, Corwall, England. Linkage,hoses, and boots included. |
um.... did anybody mention the stickers are different?
