Pirelli make good tyres, duh! They're Pirelli, of course they're good. It's just the Diablo is too slippy. It is a harder compound but doesn't seem to give a long life coz there ain't much tread on them to begin with. I can't vouch for Diablo Corsa, but I've never heard a bad rap on them, and all the cool guys have 'em, so they must be good.
As said upstairs, it's a matter of feel. If it feels good to you then that's a good tyre. The Diablo feels fine, it sticks on max lean angles, it just doesn't stick if you poor the power into it. I'm sure a Diablo would be fine for a lesser bike (touring tyre that requireds a lot of heating up).
Bring on the 014 I say. <i></i>
