PS magazine are featuring the Storm this month. Great mag, interested to hear they still rate the old bird.

Read it last night, and it's a bit of a space filler.

It's not based on riding one recently, it's just based on what they can remember from when they rode the bikes in the distant past, and some other stuff they have lifted off the internet.

We should see if we can get all 3 of those bikes together and do a back to back test by actually riding them

Didn't one of us buy an SV1000?

I know Richard mate had a falco

Hi Al,

I had an SV1000S after my Storms, didn't think it was as good overall. Wouldn't get another, whereas I still like the idea of another Storm.

My mate sold his Falco and his TREK1130. He has now bought a KTM SuperDuke 1290
He rated the Falco but wrists and knees had become an issue. He had it 14 years and put over 30k on it. He feel out of love with the TREK after it stranded him in France, but did run it for 5 years.
He's pretty stoked about the KTM
