storm v aprillia falco

[vtwin goody]

ok back in 08 my son bought an rs125 and i fell in love with prillas it was a fantastic bike,looked great went great and handled excellent,i rode that bike more than him and always came back smiling,anyway since then i,ve always wanted a tuono or mille but a couple of weeks ago me daughters boyfriend turned up on a falco and i was in awe,its derestricted so full mille power and i had to have a go,anyway got me hands on it today and its a cracking bike but did.nt give me the grin factor the storm do.s, i can crack the storm open faster on bends and although the falco was more stable it did,nt make me grin like a big kid in a sweet shop so i,m glad to say i,ve had the storm 3yrs now(never owed a bike this long before)and i,ve no plans of gettin rid,a few more mods and i feel the storm is the perfect bike,just thought i,d share that with you

Once the vtr gets under your skin you cant get away from it .
I swapped my old 95 blade for my storm and don't regret it .
its hard to find a bike you gel with and after a few mods to get it the way you want it . you would part with it .
However i still want a tl1000s but if i get one it will be a 2nd bike not a replacement ..
as the vtr are so cheep its not worth parting with mine as ive spent over a G on it to get it how i want it .
so i will just save up the coppers and pick me up a tl in a few years lol

I would love an SP2 or a 1098

The twin that first blew me away was the TL1000R when i was a child in a shop in the lane this thing stopped at the traffic lights, the wombles windows was shaking and it was booming, can remember the memory so well, it thumped so hard i could feel it inside the shop i rushed out side to watch it roar away and was in awe

I would like one and they go for not much moneys but its just such a large lump of a bike.

When i was in Egypt a few years back after two weeks i couldn't wait to go for a blast on the bike when i got home, that's when i discovered it smashed up looking hard done to in the garage, i was a good few months before i got that fixed up, i had a 1978 CB250N Superdream i used while i was fixing the storm, it was great fun pinned on it evey where gives you big grins working the sh1t out the engine! haha but my god i was glad to get back on the storm

it is a lovely example he#s got tho isnt it....

i did tell him to get the starter relay changed though for the 30A before it takes out his sprag clutch...
