Ok guys I'm about to head on a three day ride up the great alpine road and back through the spur's... Only thing is I've gotta change the title of this thread now as I went to pick up my Busa today, and was a little surprised when my trusted mech said to me that after speaking to his Pirelli rep, he has put on normal road SP's instead of the SP 1&2 combo...
The reason he gave me (and they have a few sponsored racers and I trust his judgement on matters I no little about) was that the Pirelli rep said, and I quote "If you only take one bit of advice off me and I don't care if you ever buy a thing from me again, but DO NOT put the sp 1&2 combo on a hard riden Busa. Since thd busa is a heavy bike and the sp 1&2's are a softer carcess tyre and I would very strongly, NOT recommend putting them on a Busa that's being riden hard....the sc's are a firmer carcess tyre, and will support the weight of the Busa much better giving more tyre life and better over all handling..."
So there you have it. I was a little taken back as he put something on my Busa that I didn't ask for, which has never happened but on the other hand I trust his knowledge and he know's how I ride it so I take good advice when I get told it these day's...
Still, ill let you know how they go...
