VTR1000F FIRESTORM
WAS: $15,990.00 plus On Road Costs.
NOW: $13,990.00 RIDE-AWAY
There are plenty of big twin sportsbikes out on the roads these days, but none compare to the VTR1000F for
its smooth balance of lean proportions, breathtaking acceleration and telepathically responsive handling and control.
Pumping out a hearty roar from its powerful, free revving 90-degree DOHC V-twin engine, the Firestorm responds with
decisive impulse that comes on strong from low in its V-twin powerband.
Enshrouded in the sleek, curvaceous lines of its beautifully proportioned bodywork, the Firestorm also offers easy day to day
riding manners, A more relaxed riding posistion for increased comfort on long-distance and around town riding has been
adopted. The clip on style handlebars have been raised by 15.6mm and angled upward approximately 7 degrees for a slightly
more upright posture, better for long hours on the road.
