    Take a closer look at the Piaggio typhoon & Gilera storm... They are different in a few ways! Firstly the colour, the storm came in red which the typh didnt. Also the storm is styled with gilera decals.
    Also, the typhoon has 10inch rims with chunky tyres, where as the storm has 12/13inch NRG rims with low profile "sports" tyres.. I think the gilly storm also had a rear disc brake, where the typhoon only had a drum.
