I have gota say that since selling the Storm and buying a SP1 there is no going back, what a bike, I have Microns and powercommader and its just simply superb!

I don't doubt its a better piece of engineering and its obviously quicker, but how uncomfortable is it to ride??

Its just superb, makes you realise how upright the storm was, great bike but lacks handling and top end grunt

I picked my SP1 up at a steal to so that helps

Cheap

Well can you give some real details of the differences!

Jacey Boy · Post by **Jacey Boy** » Sat Nov 13, 2004 8:57 am

Handling, seating position, torque, sound, look, and last but not least, show off factor

Jaceyboy....

Quote - "makes you realise how upright riding the storm was".....

How far can you really ride in one session without getting knackered?
I regularly take my storm on 300m / 10hour rides, couldn't see myself doing that on an SP1....

Which brings me to my point, you buy a bike to suit your riding needs.
If an SP1 is for you, good on yer chap.

Me, I 'm happy with my 'storm.
(But that new Triumph ST Sprint at the NEC did look mighty cool)

tell ya what Id like to do...... find a SP engine and put it in a Firestorm, oh yeah and the frount end..... best of both worlds then and no camchain noises

Now why the hell cant Honda think of that VTR would start selling all over again I reckon.

That's an average of 30mph ... no wonder you want a more upright position
