well chuxsta mate so far ive noticed theres a lot of smooth even power especially mid range , compared to a storm with remus cans and stage 1 jetting . there seems to be a lot less lag on the throttle

. suspension wise, at the front end the storm felt very leggy especially hard into cornering . on the sp1 i've already gained confidence in the front end and the brakes are keener . the rear end is also a lot surer than the storm . it doesn't seem to want to tram line as much sounds different and best of all no dreaded cct's to bother with

Yaaay!

Another one enters the fold

Personally I think the best bit is it never stalls. It took me ages to drop the habit of covering the clutch in slow bends and traffic lights are a breeze. You can sit there and scratch your butt with your throttle hand and know the engine isn't going to go Pop! and stop just before the light turns yellow...er! green I mean
