ok, so the rr needs a new rear

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

bridgestone bt016 is another good'un.

Michelin Pilot Power Pure,Dunlop Sportsmart, Bridgestone BT023 ( as used by Ron Haslem Race School on CBR600RRRRRRRR's).All getting good reviews.

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.

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.

Still [Censored] love my BT023's grippy in both wet and dry even when full of holes or nails! gonna b running track on them although dont no if they r too hard for track really? would put nothing else on anything else ever!

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.

They'll be ok for the track mate, Been there done that!

I would reccomend something black, made of rubber and that fits around your wheel

And that is about the sum of what I expected from both of you.
