the guy im getting it off is allegedly an anal engineer.... im hoping that means he is very fernickity about all matters engineering, rather than someone who tunes rectums 8O
but anyway, the bike is well looked after with a sound history, ie no drops or races.

exhilarating ride back, in the dark, on wet roads!
may need to lower it a bit for my stumpy legs, but fek its sooo smooth! 8O
looked at speedo and was surprised to see a highly illegal speed that ended in a few 5s without realising it 8O
but.... the storm feels faster and surprisingly is easier to throw around.
may be that i just need to get used to the sp and set it up proper for my belly.
cant wait to give it a proper test on some dry roads!

it doesnt feel as thrashy as the storm either, maybe cos of the cams & light flywheel, but very nice,,,, very purry motor and none of the lumpyness i was expecting :thumbup:

2 Very different bikes but i think i'll be keeping both.
insurance for both ended up costing ££113 fc after being fked around all day by customer services, i just took another policy out elsewhere :Argue 1:

in case anyone is wondering.... a shade over 2 1/2 which for it's condition, imo is an absolute steal :biggrin

Nice, but I don't like high level exhausts, just a personal thing. Keep hold, I reckon that the SP's will be collectable in a few years.....

the microns on atm are totally mint, just been repacked.... if you saw the condition you wouldnt believe they are 8 years old!
i can more or less guarantee they will be fkt within a year!
cheeky butt kev remarked it looked like a wheelbarrow lol! :Ball Kick:
mainly cos i said his laguna seca sp2 looked like an ice cream van :lol:

not a big fan of high levels on the storm due to the 3x2 plank swing arm being a bit of an eyesore but the ones on the sp are staying for now.
got the originals as well, still in bubble wrap, totally mint condition.... i might end up putting them on at some stage as i want to refit pillion pegs for the odd 2 up ride, otherwise it means using the storm for carryin a passenger and its coming off the road shortly for an engine rebuild and powder coating.
