POA

 

 

KEY FEATURES:

 

Sleek and sporty
The Firestorm's slim and sleek proportions are made possible by a compact, liquid-cooled 90º DOHC V-twin 996cc powerplant that forms the impressive centrepiece of its lightweight and innovative 'pivotless' dual-spar aluminium frame.

 

Phenomenal thrust of power
Offering instant torque every time you crack the throttle, no matter what gear you're in. Pulse after pulse of power combines with a taut chassis that lets you realise the full potential and beauty of this bike.

 

Takes you further
With a large capacity 19 litre fuel tank, the Firestorm's long-distance riding enjoyment makes it the ultimate sports tourer. The clip-on style handlebars are raked for greater comfort, better riding posture and longer hours on the road.

 

Pioneering chassis design
Open rear suspension set-up with rebound damping and adjustable preload delivers a smoother ride whatever the mileage.

 

Top equipment
A stylish instrument panel with LCD display, super-bright indicators and Honda's Ignition Security System (HISS) which features an electronic interlock which prevents the bike being started with any key other than the one known is just some of the top equipment enjoyed by the Firestorm.

 

The whole thinking behind the Firestorm is that of simplicity. Easy to ride, easy to love. But it'll still surprise you with its performance and impeccable manners.
