LOL! Geez, I wish I was at that meet-up... All I can say is there's nothing quite like the phrase, "sh1t you ride good for a sheila", when combined with a look of complete & utter awe from an Aussie bloke, God love'm.

Even if the storm was red in the first place you are still looking at a couple of hundred for all the colour coding of bits, as well as the bellypan. Then there are the stickers and all the labour. There was an SP-1 with 17000 miles on it for sale on autotrader for £3500!! Sell the storm privately for £2750 in the summer, add £750 = SP-1.
That said you can then look forward to more insurance (ok a lot more!), same range as a storm but an 18 litre tank emptying itself very quickly and a very sore butt! Wouldn't go back tho'

Why did he have to go and ruin a perfectly good replica by putting the SP-1 sticker on the back... he nearly got away with it....

I agree with pmcq
The bike looks really good untill you see the SP1 sticker then it just make me think "Poor Wanna be"
