Tyres where there are no corners or rain ...

How extreme with mileage do you want to go?

Nice chart Ward :-) Thanks and thanks for all the other replies people.

I'm on the original set of rubber - bike has done 2500 or so and theres a noticeable flat spot on the rear. I did take it for a serious blat in the derestricted speed zone and by the time I got to my destination the rubber was peeling (and lots of 4" long bug splats). Wasn't a particularly hot day, only 38 or so. On a side note, from someone coming from riding a 650 thumper, it was to say the least an incredible experience. For all you seasoned 'busa riders, try to remember the first time you went 'that fast' - some of us leave it to later in life :-)

Most of my commute is spent between 100-115 or so (indicated) - its open road to work but not 130 or desrestricted unfortunately - or fortunately given the toll it would take on tyres !!

I briefly thought today I should have a commuter and keep 'busa for rec rides, but then realised the insanity of such a thought, so I just need to get some rubber that will suit the conditions here to make commuting affordable.

Planning on another blat up north this weekend to see if that little pin really does stop the needle from moving and get some more gopro footage, hopefully the journalists have all left town, but there's a plethora of new cars with camo-disguises up here at the moment so it could be 'fun'. I reckon my tyres will be toast after this one ...

Cheers ...
