Big blue's about 5k up and the Bridgy on the back is ready for retirement. Didn't really think the 'Busa was at it's best with the Bridgestone and have always been a Michelin fan. I know these postings are always contentious because tyre choice is a very personal thing . What is the current thinking for a K7 used 80% for commuting with the occasional day ride and weekend away(very occasional for the latter!) sometimes 2 up. Also is there an advantage in changing profile. I know these are big contentious questions but I'm a bit stuck. Don't want to spend money on Bridgestones as they let me down badly once and I swore I would never use them again. I would like some sort of longevity but want a good allrounder more than anything. So there you go. Completely uncommitted to anything (except not!!! buying a Bridgestone) and not really sure what I want!!!! So who wants to offer their 2 bobs worth?
I would particularly like to hear from anyone using the Michy 2ct's .
Thanks all.
G"Day,
I have used pilot powers for about 4 years now and cannot fault them in any conditions, tried several bridgestones and found 5k was tops and grip was ordinary, pilot powers have gone to 17k ( no not with canvas showing either ) and average 12k grip in all conditions is exellent ( I scraped my l/h fairings on the road up level with the alternator cover and the bike still felt rock steady)
regards Norvin.
