My very own Storm!

Hi all, Been scanning the forum for a while and have just recently joined.... Have looked at a ton of bikes and came across the VTR 1000 Fire storm (AUS) and loved it.... Test rode a few and settled on this baby... Gave it a clean up, trimmed the number plate holder and put on the Red rim tape.. Would like as much input as possible....More mods, performance and cosmetic to come in the future...I like the look of the belly fairing so i will be trying to track 1 down and take it from there! Hope everybody likes it, Tony.

Welcome! Let the mods begin. I would say uncork the exhaust and the never ending smile that comes with each blast of the right hand.

Suspension and rider first. Most people can't outride the bike or the tires (unless they do something stupid). That's my 2 pence.

Thanks for all the replies to all, i am very happy with the bike and will enjoy riding it for now and then slowly slowly start the alterations! I will track down the belly fairing first and like "hawk rider" said suspension set up for my height and weight! Let the fun begin!

Very clean bike. And don't mind Randy, he has a fixation with Vegemite sandwiches.
