Don't know about the strom, but the GS is much different in a lot of ways. It took me awhile to adjust to it. It's suspension with the telelever is much different, it squats instead of dives. The bike is a good 250 lbs heavier than the RR and it feels every bit of that under braking. I would let you ride it, but you are a midget and I can barely keep the bike upright at a stand still. I can't two foot this bike it is too tall.
