The main use of the bike will be sunday thrashines & 3-4 trackdays a year. I have used these tyres on a few bikes & really rate them, what are they like for track use? -- Nige, Honda VTR1000 SOLD! BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue Aprilia RSV Mille
I've never used them on a track but they behaved really well on the 10R when I felt the urge to rag it all over the IoM TT course. Your suspension settings will **** any tyre if they're not bang on so try and get that right before you go.
I know a man in Keighley that's very good on suspension setup. Ta -- Nige, Honda VTR1000 SOLD! BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue Aprilia RSV Mille

Don't know about over there, but the 2CT made in France were recalled by Michelin in the U.S. and now some guy on a BMW 1200 or 1300 had his 190 Road rear split while riding. Luckily for him, he wasn't in a turn when the carcass split and blew out. B~
was several batches that were recalled last year. I had the rear replaced foc on the R1. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.info/faq/ YZF-R1 : FZ1 : GPz 750 turbo keeper of the FAQ for my sins MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
I have done 3 track days with them on the Voxan; Cadwell, Charade and Mas du Clos. Charade, in particular, whilst having only one really quick straight has loads of bends, far more than any short circuit in the UK. Scrubbed them in very nicely it did. Bear in mind that's an only 100BHP bike ridden by an old gimmer though. What I like is that the have retained a decent profile even though also subjected to a certain amount of motorway use. From what I read, and was told by my friendly tyre suppliers the splitting problems were somewhat overstated. In any case, IIRC the original recall was for fronts not rears? Though perhaps, from what Adie said, there have been other bad batches. PF en France
