they are cheap which is really important im counting pennies. they seem nice the one thing that worries me is im not sure they are really for 1000 cc + motorcycles. the pilot road 2's seem to have to many treads. also they are more expensive like 40 bucks more. ive looked this up in search but didnt find a revelant search results. | ||

i use road 2's and i LOVE them, i honestly cant tell any difference between them and the corsa 3, other than they last longer, and the corsa 3's seemed to be more stabile at HIGH speed. But as far as grip they seem virtually identical on the sidewalls, and i have NO chicken strip, so ive tested them hahaha  Jake | ||

My vote is for the 016s...love em. I will buy them until they stop making 'em. I think the liter IL4s under severe track conditions were able to overwhelm the 016s, but the 1125 is very tractable motor that's not in the same HP class. YOu will be fine. | ||

Anytime you are weighing the cost of tires, do a little math on how much per day, or per mile, or whatever, on the difference in the ones you are considering. Amortized over the life if the tire, it really starts to become insignificant. Find the ones that you like, and even if they are $40-50 more, that really isn't that much money. My opinion, but you don't want to shortcut on the tires. R FWIW, I dig Conti RoadAttacks, and I have had good luck so far with a Pilot 2CT I had to buy for the back in a pinch situation. Good luck! | ||

fresno thanks thats what i was lookin for. also i know ur competent with ur bike. i like the idea of a harder middle. so the roadattacks seem nice in that department. the problem with 40-50 bucks is i dont have it. so its either let my bike sit there or buy the battlax's which they seem to be as good as stockers. | ||

I absolutely loved my bt016's. I am purchasing another set to go in my street rims next week!! The first set lasted 4 track days with exellent grip throughout the entire time, and 2000 road miles that were dreamy compared to the stock priellis. Buy them and buy them now Superbikesupply.com has the cheapest deal! | ||

Pilot Power 2CT are the best mile for dollar tyre i have found you get good wear across the tyre most others develop a shoulder well before the tread on the side is even half worn Regrads Brett | ||

so its either let my bike sit there or buy the battlax's which they seem to be as good as stockers. The Battlaxs are better than the stockers and one of the best values in motorcycle tires, period. Buy with confidence. | ||

I've found Bridgestones to be excellent motorcycle tires. I like the Pirellis too. | ||

I have two sets of 002RS and 003RS here I just bought. $235 delivered a set -- that's hard to pass up. I don't know yet if the 'stones are as good as the Corsa III, but my buddies swear by them, and the price is definitely right. | ||

fresno- ur the man. thanks for the help i just bought the bt0016 rear. hope the pirelli front and 0016 rear dont fight each other. | ||
| Jmr1283 |
everyone else thanks for the help to. this will help more people to come. since theres tons of tires to chooose from past years then every year they come out with new ones its enough to make u crazy. but the bridgestones are priced great and they seemed to be a great street tire. | ||

They are working on the bikes now. I have seen the Bonneville bike and several pieces of 1125s periodically. Got to see and touch the race skins, must be the CF. Side panel weighs GRAMS. I don't ask too much so I can't give away any secrets..  Z |
