Not a lot of Firestorms get the street fighter treatment because of the side mounted radiators, it looks like that one has one of the two radiators relocated and the other removed, I bet it overheats!
One front mounted rad is enough unless he's thrashing it through death valley, but I bet the fan is working overtime in town.

I'm loving the VTR on the side of the fairing, they used to sell those letters on a revolving stand near the checkout in my local Halfrauds.

It's VTR season...

Maybe I keep finding them because I keep looking for Firestorms.
I'd love one cheap enough that I could paint it in that gun metal colour that the Blackbird originally came in and get the wheels painted gold.

So much effort, but why spend all that time and money building something based around such a low rent motor!

From the same site that the S4R thing above is on-
https://classifieds.thebikeshed.cc/details/2400
This one is a WTF for me purely for the price tag- it's up for the bargain price of €18k
I think they may have a fairly long wait if that's how much they are really looking for....

An Enfield that's trying to look like a 1970s Husqvarna, I suppose if it floats your boat, but it's a very expensive boat, you could buy a real 70s Husqvarna for less

OMG it's a 750, though I suppose that explains why the mileage is very low. It's very 1980s, but it's not cool, RD350 YPVS is the king of 80s cool.

I had two RD400s, both in better condition than that, they cost £250 each (and they were a nowhere near as good as an LC)
