I like number 6 and 8, cause the bronze rear and chain will suit the colour scheme of the bike, sad hey but come on they are all good quality components.lol

I think best option actually will be DID chain and preferred Honda OEM sprockets.
In years I tried loads of different chain kits (including Tsubaki chain - no thanks, it wore off bit too quickly)on different bikes and for me it all eventually boiled down to DID X or XW or at least O ring chains and original sprockets. My reasons for original sprockets: they still last longer than aftermarket, chain damper on front sprocket do calm down chain vibrations a bit. Not that this rubber ring on front sprocket that important, but chain definitely less noisy with it. In my book less noise = less wear. My reasons for DID chains: they do have proper warranty (who knows - manufacturing defects happen), they always last long and I do not care about chain color at all.
All above is IMO. I also wonder what it'll take to upgrade Storm to 535 chain if longetivity is important rather than weight ...

To get best value, first fit a Scotoiler.
Triples chain and sprocket life, and with one fitted you'll get better life out of a cheap chain and sprocket set than you would out of a top quality set without one.

I have considered only travelling a third of the distance I did last year, so if I run out of allotted mileage whilst out on a ride with ya this summer, I might have to leave my bike at the side of the road and get a lift home.

I went for VMUP120 - DID VM2 X-Ring Gold Chain and Sprocket Kit Upgrade from Bitzforbikes at £107 quid in the end and whilst I was there got a new rear disc cause mine is shagged. With the new HH sintered pads, new rear disk and braided hoses she might bloody well stop this year...

Now ur coming round to my way of thinking....

No point in wasting your money if your not going to look after it. Tony's right, can't beat a Scotoiler. You'll get more life out of any chain.

Aw sh1t! Tony's talking sense and I'm agreeing with him. What is the world coming to?

[tony.mon]

Alright, I retract.

You caught in a rare moment of alcohol-less clarity.

Apologies, it won't happen again.

[Pete.L]

Yeah, me too
Time for a beer

On my third, needed a drink after all that apologizing.

I always use a company called Bike torque racing, they always give good advice & the prices are competitive, they got a website.

Iv'e just bought a DID chain and sprockets for my old ZX10, from Powerlinks. Guy on the phone was very helpfull and the quality of the sprockets looks good, although the front one isnt quite up to the original Kwacker one. all in £110
