Re: Previous Bikes
Had loads, but last bike on the road was a NTV 650 Honda.
Same sort of thing in miniature, really, with shaft drive and no fairing to have to repair when I drop it.
Thing is, on the old commute (back roads) I could have it wide open exiting bends- can't do that with the Storm, so have to pay attention a bit more.
But I could get much better MPG!

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
