Awesome tyre! grips the road like shit to a blanket. Lucky to get 5k out of them, but stick!!! awesomely!!

The Storm wears a lot better with only a little less feed back. Use a VP2 first and enjoy!
Good weather, good woman, good road, good bike, good-bye!!

Thanks Max, I knew you`d have used them & I`ll take you`re tip & try them next.
Greeny, I`ve gotten 11 or 12k out of my Storm so far & it`s nearly dead.

I am also a member of the GSX1400 forum and there has been a lot of discussion regarding the new ultra, most who have tried them them dont like them and say that the older ones were a much better alround tyre. I recently changed tyres on my 1400 and ent for Metzeler sportec M3's, I really like the feel of them but not sure how long they would last on a Busa.

I recently tried to get another VP for the BlackBeast only to be told that my local tyre fitter hasn't been able to get an Avon since before Christmas. WTF is going on in tyre world???
I must have Vipers sooner rather than later!!!
