    Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas?

    Any KB riders tried these out.
    Running super corser sp at the mo but got some touring trips planned and need something a little more road/rain friendly.
    Would the standard diablo rossos be a better option?
    Any feedback welcome

    Thanks

    During this "touring" do you expect to be anything like Rossi? If not try the Diablo Strada, lots of great reviews out there for them. Dury Performance centre fitted a set to my R1 for $500 - but that was 12 months or more ago. I didn't do many kms on them before selling the bike though so I can't comment on them (except to say they seemed fine to me but I'm not a fast rider by anybodies standard).

    .... back in green and feeling great ....

    I know my mechanic loves the Rosso's, but he's biased when it comes to Pirelli's.

    I'll find out in a few weeks, as I have a set in the garage. I also have a set of Angels, but I opt for the Rosso's first

    PM Mouldy @ DPC. He does KB mates rates (...could be worth your while to ship, who knows).

    It's new tyre time for me as well. Was between Rosso Corsa or Q2. Dropping in tomorrow to get Q2s with the hope that they'll wear a little better.

    The "Corsa" is a brand new model of Rosso.

    Let us know how you find them? I've got the standard Rosso's fitted now and finding them ok, but it's early days. I do like the 120/60 front though.

    Standard sizes for my R1 120/70/17f
    190/55/17r
    After the scrub in period, i started to push a little and found the corsa"s to give a good feel through the bike, and felt stable and true in the corners, Will put a few more km"s on em before i start finding there limits but am happy with them thus far

    The Mrs has them on Her R6. She's only ridden on them around Minefeild though, but pretty pleased with 'em, worked real well.
    I'll prolly try 'em when I wear out or get sick of the Pures...
