This response is from what I remember about 10 years ago regarding Chinese bikes. Back then, one could fly in to China, and if you had a friend who lived there (i.e. someone from a motorcycle forum site like Horizons Unlimited) they could register a brand new, $1k bike in their name and loan it to you for a budget adventure. No license, either!
The point is, I remember some of the more adventurous types who bothered to post their road trip as marveling at how well the 150cc or 200cc enduro engine did at high elevation. These were stock bikes. And the reports were from different people on different tours at different times.
If you had a Hawk, I could see the benefit as based on numerous Hawk owners making a carb one of their first modifications seemingly out of necessity. On the Storm, I would wait to see how it does.
