£2k, are you mad!

I'd rather spend £1500 on a Firestorm and the rest on suspension and tyres... or Spend £1800 on a Big Red Bus :)

Probably lol but I'd buy it because of how it looks, a Firestorm looks like a Firestorm.
Now the BRB does appeal however I have a ST1050 that does those duties.

There's no airbox, the front mudguard is almost off and it's got square tyres.

Ten minutes to do the mudguard, add a brown seat and it's done, complete with patina.

I've just had a look on t'bay for XS650's, to see if the Hipster demand had driven the prices up, but they still seem sensible money.

Although I did spot this minger!

Well, it might be... were it not the most evil bastard handling bike I've ever ridden.

And I give it a couple of weeks before the rear drum cracks.

So who thinks this Image
looks better than this

I get that some people like the spoke wheel thing and getting rid of the plastichrome bits has crossed my mind before too but other than that :wtf:

It will probably have lost all it's low and middle range power too with those pipes, what a waste :roll:

I like 'some' of the features of the customised one - mainly just the bars tbh. Really don't like that headlight.
