Took the Storm for it's maiden run on Sunday . Did over 200 miles so the Mitch PR3s are well scrubbed in . Just have to clean all the bug splatter off !

Does the noise they make, that sound like a million marbles running down a drain pipe not do your head in? found they are excellent tyres but that noise, oh no!SPIV wrote:Took the Storm for it's maiden run on Sunday .

No problem with the tyres ... it's the cans that will do my head (and ears) in !!!seb421 wrote:Does the noise they make, that sound like a million marbles running down a drain pipe not do your head in? found they are excellent tyres but that noise, oh no!SPIV wrote:Took the Storm for it's maiden run on Sunday .

Re: Maiden spin .
A review ... OK ... I can only compare the Storm to the SP1 that I've been riding for 3 years . The Storm handles beautifully on the twisties . I think it down to the 180s on the back (compared too the 190s on the SP). The bars are a bit higher & the seat is much more comfy. As for power delivery .. awesome !! The only thing that bugged me was the noise from the cans .. far tooo loud ,even with earplugs ! The suspension was set up for the previous owner .. similar height & weight to me .. so thats sorted ! I would change the cans or get the baffles for the Tube Tec s . Love the Yelly Ones BTW !! The smaller fuel tank is a bit annoying !! The SP holds 18 LTRs . Enjoyed the first decent ride on the Storm ... happy days !!AMCQ46 wrote:was expecting a review of teh bike after you first big ride out based on the title.....so what did you think? what do you want to change?

Re: Maiden spin .

Re: Maiden spin .
I'm liking the look of your bike mate, especially all those crash bungs. And whats the hose by the K&N sticker on the frame.
Glad you had an enjoyable ride.

Re: Maiden spin .
I think you should sell your cans to me! 
Oh and I guess the cans were ok without support from the rear footpegs. (they didn't fall off)
