I helps to have perspective, which comes with age. I was a bit rough on you Jay, sorry. Caught me at a bad moment.

Mine was a 1974 Suzuki TS250. NICE 2-stroke engine, but the frame and suspension were mush! All 3 Chinese bikes in my garage have better frames and FAR superior suspension.
Having access to these Chinese dirt bikes (and many nice road bikes) is awesome! I would have SOOO happy to have my Storm when I was 16!
