why i love my storm by karlosvtr

Post by KarlosVTR »

i love my storm because it barely ticks over at cruising speed of 70

it handles and feels like my old nc30 except has loads more grunt

its a sportsbike at heart but 'officially' a tourer so not so bad on insurance

i love it

i am so happy with it even tho its a bit rough. plans are just a clean up (partial to full restoration on the cards) and either a sharkskinz or moriwaki style belly

just thought i would share that with the world

Fair points, but the NC30 handling is pushing it a bit. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had an NC30 just before my storm

Hi Karlos.....

Totally agree....I got fed up of living at 10,000 rpm all the time :lol: so it had to be a twin next for me....Narrowed it down to 3....

Either Ducati................... (Too Fragile)
Suzuki TL1000................ (Widowmaker)
or Firestorm.....................

No contest really

(BTW......I'm AKA WildFire from SDR)

Me too (well had a cbr and R6 in between them).... but what great little bike. I do remember getting back on one after riding the bigger bike and it felt like it could be thrown about the place!!
