Hey,Is there any body out there help me I've been out of biking for 15 years and have just got a 93 CBR1000 it has a Pirelli mtro1 on the front badly worn and a good michelin macadam on the back should I replace the front with a match to the rear or ditch both and put some other brand on only interested in sport touring.

Ditch both and go for a set of Avon Storm ST, I had a CBR1000 and now got the Blackbird and the Avons would suit both bike fantasticly well :Punk:

Michellin Pilot Roads for both front and rear. I run them on my CBR and have done on several previous bikes. I have found their road holding ability excellent in both wet and dry conditions. Just my 2cents worth.
Cheers
