How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for spirited sport riding and twisty backroads where the V-twin's midrange punch and light chassis shine.
- Built for
- The FireStorm has a raw, characterful V-twin feel with strong torque delivery rather than the screaming top-end rush of an inline-four sportbike.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any serious off-road capability.
