Wink

I'm sure I'll stand corrected (I'm a newbie)...but the Firestorm is the British moniker for the SH. I'm guessing there's some regional differences like the emission equipment, and of course the steering wheel is on the other side.

To my understanding, the Firestorm is what the SuperHawk in America is known by to eveyone else. Same bike, different marketing name. Not sure why this is and I could be wrong.

Overall, the exact same bike except for minor differences to conform to different countries.

Decals obviously
MPH vs KPH instruments
I "think" the little light above the headlight is selectable. (???)
and probably some other minor things but....

the major item on later FireStorms is the larger fuel tank! (19L)

4.2 gallon tank on our bikes. The reserve light comes on when there is .7 gallons left, which would leave you at 3.5 gallons.
