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 sc's instead of sp's...wow good advice ,but ive put my busa on a diet ,ive got it done to 217kilos good info though
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's on a hard riden Busa. Since thd busa is a heavy bike and the sp'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...
