And to add to Nic's post above. The carbs will most likely need a strip down and clean of the jets etc if petrol was left in the carbs when it was laid up for 5 years. Tip, don't mix up the parts from the front and rear carbs as some parts are different between the two. Carb stripping: https://www.v...

To be fair most of his other Items are car related so he doesn't really have a clue, there are a a few other Storm bits massively expensive ! The only good thing about that tank is it has the cap C/W key the sender & Petcock... Still way overpriced. Although the later are probably useless due t...

I feel a difference in the way the bike now handles, going through fast sweeping turns on the road the bike certainly feels more stable/planted (not sure planted is the correct terminology lol). ...

It could be okay with a new paint job :crazy: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304798326523?itmmeta=01HYBQVFPCSWHBM643A7SV5TPG&hash=item46f7655efb:g:5TUAAOSwpgNiNK0z&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4Oe0IwsSKqh%2BV%2FH86htiM4co4d3ZxxpGBcVzJeLPs%2Fmg9xrXbRSAGR6ESY6ogQOlJ2OK3svCpOfR6HaSxFWD8IEcCnHkmt5YUPm08GCr...

Yeah but like F1 it's the top category in racing... If I want to see road relevant bikes racing there's WSBK* or BSB. MotoGP is, & always has been prototype machines & should stay that way... OK reducing costs** is a good thing & over the years tech from the racing has filtered down to ...

So expect all manufacturers to rush out new 850cc superbikes. There won't be much of a CC gap between those and the A2 compatible versions. I won't miss the wings and aero- but the height-lowering tech on some giant trailers seems to have proved a good idea for shorter riders. Ah, well, the best ri...
