Is that the replacement for the storm's ?
RE: Avon VP2s - busacrankin - 03-08-2010
No Greeny, their the sportier version & the Storms are now known as the Storm 2 Ultras.

Awesome tyre! grips the road like shit to a blanket. Lucky to get 5k out of them, but stick!!! awesomely!!
The Storm wears a lot better with only a little less feed back. Use a VP2 first and enjoy!
RE: Avon VP2s - Greeny_SA - 03-08-2010
I'm more than happy with the storm so i guess I'll go the storm 2 ultra, if I can wear this one out
RE: Avon VP2s - busacrankin - 04-08-2010
Thanks Max, I knew you`d have used them & I`ll take you`re tip & try them next.
Greeny, I`ve gotten 11 or 12k out of my Storm so far & it`s nearly dead.

From what I've seen it go's both way's.

Les (Busdriver) can ride mate, I just like taking the piss out of him every now and then.

I am also a member of the GSX1400 forum and there has been a lot of discussion regarding the new ultra, most who have tried them them dont like them and say that the older ones were a much better alround tyre. I recently changed tyres on my 1400 and ent for Metzeler sportec M3's, I really like the feel of them but not sure how long they would last on a Busa.

WTF is going on in tyre world???
I must have Vipers sooner rather than later!!!
