The Firestorm was Honda’s take on a big capacity V-Twin sports bike, and proved the basis for the VTR SP-1 and SP-2 bikes that took Ducati on at their own game in World Superbikes, and beat them..

..the motor was a 90 degree V-Twin of 996cc capacity, and developed 110bhp with a decent amount of torque as is characteristic of the design. It all proved enough for a sub 11 second 1/4 mile time, and a top speed in the mid 150s

This particular bike was modified to an incredibly high standard by a previous keeper during the Covid lockdown period, both in terms of cosmetic and mechanical enhancements. Known to us, both he and his father loved their bikes, and had great capability between them, thus ensuring the overall resultant quality evident today

Cosmetic enhancements included a huge amount of beautifully polished parts, such as swingarm, billet top yoke, fork lowers, exhaust hangers (with laser etched Firestorm insignia) rearsets, and various bolts and fasteners. Powdercoated rear subframe and front screen/indicator mount. Powdercoated white wheels, with as new Bridgestone S22 tyres, and decals feature, including front number board, with a race cowl, custom seat with VTR insignia and red piping, Renthal grips, clear rear brake lamp with integrated indicators, flush mount front indicators, stainless mesh to fairings, and a light tinted screen

Mechanical modifications included a custom fabricated Fireblade style swingarm with rear shock spacer, lightened flywheel, manual cam chain tensioners, Gold DID chain with new sprockets (+2 teeth rear) new wheel bearings, rebuilt brake calipers with SBS pads and braided lines, Brembo radial front brake master cylinder and lever, rebuilt clutch master/slave cylinders, rebuilt rear suspension linkage with new bearings and seals, twin Micron carbon exhausts with custom high level mounts, new genuine Honda petcock, new fork seals and fluid with K-Tech linear springs, raised bars and all new fluids and filters including K&N air filter

The end result is a quite stunning bike, that needs absolutely nothing at all, and is surely one of the very best Firestorms to be found. In beautiful, headturning condition, this is a characterful machine, quite unique, that looks and sounds fabulous, as well as being an absolute hoot to ride. Quite wonderful….

About Us:
Welcome to the eBay Motors Pro showroom for Sargents of Sussex. Established in early 1994, we traded, and were known as D.J. Sargent of Copthorne for 17 years, building a solid reputation, through 1000s of sales, for supplying high quality vehicles, with an honest and dependable approach. In May 2011, we relocated from our native Copthorne to the beautiful rural countryside in the heart of ‘1066 Country’ between historic Battle and picturesque Rye in East Sussex. Our trading name changed accordingly, but our business remains the same.

Sargents of Sussex is run by Damon Sargent. A lifelong enthusiast, motor cars were instilled in his blood from a long family background of motor and mechanical engineers. Now in it's thirty second year the business continues to run with an enthusiasm and integrity that is higher than ever, with according specialist knowledge of the stock. We pride ourselves on a 'traditional values' approach to our customers and will always make every effort to resolve any issues, should they arise. Indeed, we value repeat business very highly and are delighted to say that many customers return because they have determined to buy only from us.

Throughout our trading years we have endeavoured to source vehicles of a more interesting nature and we have sold numerous Ferrari, Porsche and AMG Mercedes, BMW M3/M5, Lotus Elise, Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Evolution. Many more ‘niche’ market vehicles have also passed through our hands, Noble and TVR for example, and many older classics in addition to some true modern motoring icons including the Lotus Carlton and UR Audi Quattro Turbo.

Our core business now concentrates on motorcycle sales and we have sold numerous bikes from Aprilia, BMW, Ducati, Harley Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, MV Agusta, Moto Guzzi, Suzuki, Triumph and Yamaha, to name but a few. Our key market is sports bikes, but we have a significant interest in stocking the ever more popular 'naked street bikes' as well as mainstream sports tourers and commuters, and the more niche market supermoto and enduros, as well as the odd classic. Against any of our sales bikes, we welcome cars or other bikes in part exchange against them. As ever, our long term partners at Meridian Finance can offer all manner of lending solutions against these machines.

The Sargent family have been involved in the motor trade for a great many years now. The great grandfather of Damon Sargent, Henry James Sargent, began trading, in East Grinstead, in the early 1920's and built a successful business, Sargents of East Grinstead Ltd., which remained for 60 years until finally closed in the early 1980's. We are proud to follow in the family tradition.

Based in East Sussex between Battle and Rye, we are surprisingly accessible being just 5 minutes from the A21, and a little under 1 hour south of M25 Junction 5 for customers travelling from the motorway network.

Viewings 7 days but by prior appointment please.
