Bridgestone S20 vs Michelin Pilot Power 3. Initial impressions.

23.25pm ? were you having a beer ?
Maybe it's your inch perfect lines and precise,smooth throttle action!
Ahhh ! you're Eddie Lawson !

Don't think I've used the same line twice around any track in New Zealand. Set up issues aside, it was the weakest part of my racing. Always rode by feel, and failed to learn the basics.

No need to be smooth on the throttle with the RF. It weighs a ton, and is lacking the power of a superbike. That said, it'll torch the rear hoop out of the hairpin at Manfeild and slide till it's time to hook second.

Mileage reference for Power 3's:

KTM Superduke R: Replaced at 11,000km. Prob 1000km left to metal on rear
Aprilia RSV1000: Currently at about 8500km. Profile still very good. Very even wear. Suspect at least 10,000km achievable.
