What is a Storm 650R?

 

IMO its an expensive P.O.S with a $17,000 price tag

 

its a 650 2-stroke...it is 15k or 17k..whatever...way to expensive u could build something faster for much cheaper

 

Who makes it?

 

Storm I believe.

It has a lot of good aftermarket parts on it, it would be a close call on the price thing. Kind of like cdale, expensive, but its just because you are paying for all the good parts at once.

Wow only 301 pounds

 

very impressive machine but it is way overpriced i agree you could make something faster for less $$. still you gotta love a 650cc 2 stroke...and its 50 pounds lighter than a yfz 450!

 

if they made it a 650cc 4-stroke but used all the technology from the yfz450 motor, then maybe i'd be interested.

 

Way to overpriced. I don't know what "Storm Atv" is smoking but who in their right mind would pay that much for a fourwheeler?
