He went for few different models and makes, but then settled only for VTR. And here is what he got "sold" on - enjoy (translated, sorry if not very smooth). I think this very much summarises impressions on Storm from somebody who never tried it.
"Thank you for support with right choice. I'm just so impressed with how this bike "suites my soul". You may laugh, but for me it feels like mix between my previous inline-4 and my oldtimer bike I had. Storm is absolutely contemporary bike, but absolutely alive, like old good time's bikes still living in Storm! Of course I am juyst getting used to it, but already feel what you meant by "rear drive" (my remark: I been telling him about that torque thing that gives you oversteer feeling sometimes or even real oversteer, "rear drive" is just our slang) and easy handling.The only thing I do not like - soft front. I hope you can advice me on fixing that."
So you see - soul. I like what he said - that classic bikes living in Storm a bit
Now, my Australian colleagues - hope for your advice. Where my friend can go to get front suspension sorted, at least - springs and oil? What is available in Australia - Hyperpro? Wilbers? Other?
My friend somewhere in Sydney I think....but can ask him where exactly...
