I've only owned one for a couple of days but can say, they sound good and go better than any 4cyl bike around. Go the Twin!

Hiya.
The Storm is a great bike! Had mine since september and it's definitely the sweetest machine I've ever had. The throttle is very responsive, the gearbox is very forgiving and it stays comfortable over long distances. I did 350 miles through France in a day without pain ( I was nearly blind from concentration though, had it stuck at 120/130 mph all day!). I use it for commuting through London every day as well and it the position gives you a great view of the road ahead. Good luck with your Storm.

The Storm is a great machine, but in stock form is sorely lacking in the suspension department, especially when you drop the hammer. I highly recommend sorting the suspension, both front and back.
