Hey all, great weather for riding in Victoria isn't it?? .....................NOT !!!!!! Was riding a friends new R6 to his new house for him the other day and it friggin HAILED. Loved it, especially since he had a new Michillen Pilot rear tyre.....sidewards action is so much fun....NOT !!
Anyway, time for new rear tyre. Need to sort out all the tyre topics I've read.
1) - Is the Michillen HPX Pilot tyre 'J' rated and made for the Busa? And has anyone had any problems with it - I've heard its real slippery until really warmed up?
2) - Does the new Dunlop 208 shit all over the 207 in wear and handling?
3) - I've read they don't make the BT56R anymore - replaced by the BT010. Is this true cause I liked the BT56R??
4) - What's the difference between the BT010 and the BT020 ??
I've still got the original Bridgestone front tyre on - will be mixing it with whatever I put on the rear. After reading those topics I'm leaning to the HPX Pilot for the rear. What is every ones answers to those questions?
