Rubber recommendations...

Post by Smiler »

ok, so the rr needs a new rear :roll: :D

What I'm after is something I can use on the road, even in slightly damp conditions and not scare the **** outta me!

Also planning on doing a couple of Track Days on it, so whilst I'm not wanting a full on track tyre, it needs to be ok for the occasional sesh ;)

Any comments/help gratefully received :)): :)): :)):

You'll have plenty of suggestions and opinions,but the hard part will be trying to pick one.!
I asked a similar question a while ago,got plenty of answers and ideas,but found it very difficult to choose one.
In my case it would have to come down to price at the end of the day. But i must say the bt023's are getting great reviews and they will be my new boots soon.
Good luck.
Jon.

I did Llandow last year with one of these on the rear, great grip, fantastic on the road too, warm up quick and give long life, got one to fit on the Bandit again.

Racetecs, great in the dry and very good in the wet, I've been running them on all of my bikes for the last 18 months now with no problems whatsoever in either the wet or dry.
