I had the Azzaro's on my VFR and never had any complaints (also ran Diablos and Bridgies). Just got the Storm-ST fitted front & rear to my Busa and they feel good. have to keep my eye on the mileage, but if I'm worried about kilometres per dollar, I wouldn't have bought a Hayabusa!
I must say I am very impressed. The HPXs, even when new never felt as good as these Storms do.
For those running Super Corsas, or Vipers (yes you Max), they may not be as good as them. But if your looking for longer mileage, the Storms are supposed to provide it.
The bus feels nice and stable in a straight line. I'm having so much fun in corners again. I have found them to be "confidence inspiring."
According to the research I've done on rider's sites they are supposed to be very good in the wet as well.
I'll keep you all posted on the wear, but I'm expecting 10K or more from the back alone. Running 42psi front and rear (Avon recommended).
