I forgot how good these machines are, and your right Jonesy you just can not fault them!

Aww your joking Mike... and there i am looking for some pipes... If i buy some link pipes i think i can make my old VTR Vipers fit.

Benny, Well being on the bike everyday i was filling up every day and a half.
Just simply got pi$$ed of with it to be honest, luv the Storm but it just had to go. Who knows i might get another one day. :)

Marra, go for it. You wont be disappointed!

Ok, no worries Mike.
No different to the oem ones then really. :)

Timbo, its a 1998 model last of the carbs but late registered on a 99 plate.
Only just done over 20k. :)
Loving every moment on it and to be honest cant remember why i sold my old one years ago. Just fancied a change i suppose.
But i do miss the sound the Storm made and they are great play bikes.

Looked into one of these before I got my Storm, and came to the conclusion that the last of the carb ones was what I wanted.

But my daily commute then was down little single track back lanes and I fancied something a bit slimmer and lighter, hence the Storm.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Good choice mate, give us an update when you have put some miles on it. Looks classy in that colour. :cool2
