simple se baat hai , Piaggio uses long gear ratios then both suzuki and cgs due to which both cg , and gs climb good even at slopes
1st gear of my bike goes to 50km/h, second to 85km/h,
where as gs goes to 30 km/h or so , in 1st gear
so short gear ratios means better wieght management
Piaggio is built for straight patches not for steep slopes
although the top speed is around 115 to 120 km/h but longer gear ratio means better fuel management and great response on straight patches ,even at full speed there are still 3000 rpms left , means engine is not under stress and this increases is life , where as cg touches 11000 rpms or so and vibrate heavily due to use of short gears
every bike has its own pros and cons
if gs can climb good , its not good in straight patches where storm has the edge
and u have to live with it that even its a bitter truth but Storm has Italian technology made in china , just like Honda CG 125, Japanese tech , made in pakistan
