I got 5794 kays out of the last Viper - but I was a little shocked to see belt creeping out from in the middle of the tyre. A very gentle ride home then off to TJs in Canberra. No Vipers for a week. Obviously couldn't wait so have slung a Pilot Sport on. Like the 180/55, so will be looking for some nice twisty corners after she has scrubbed in. Was the only real sticky tyre he had, will be interesting.

Unfortunately the Pilot Sport in 180 isn't the tyre for the Hayabusa. I thought the tyre was handling poorly on a reasonably quick sweeper called Smith's Gap that Busdriver and I were riding - the tyre was wriggling around a fair bit laid right over, on getting home I found it only had 32 psi in it. I put 42psi in it and went out to my favorite sweeper just up the road, Ruffy knows it okay! still wriggling around like a 2 bob whore with her.... okay we'll leave the description at "wriggling around a lot" Had a look when I got home - the damned thing is wriggling around because the I've run out of farking tread and running off the bead. The 190 must have a lot more usable tread.
Said it would be interesting.
