Pirelli won the NZ Superbikes this year, the michelin users changed to Pirelli!!

Just an idea, but these tyres are for road use? Look at what brand wins on the road in the UK race scene, always Pirelli

Gets more confusing.......could have been a race wear issue which us mere mortals would not have such an issue with....who knowz eh?

It had nothing to do with race wear, thats an excuse used by people when they have chosen the wrong compound or have poorly set up suspension.

Its just that the pirellis are THE TYRE on the track here in NZ. I use them (Dragon super corsa pro or Diablo) on the street and get good mileage from them. (4000Km)
The pirellis are easy to set up and great grip with a progressive feel when they move. Unlike Michelins which (in my experience) snap sideways without any movement first.

Ummmm yea, them, hiding in the shadows, unable to confront the enemy head on, Resistance needs to be practiced by the many to be effective.

Its like motorcycling, all fragmented, no coordination, take a potshot at someone and move on. If we ever get orginised we could change the governments mind on lots of the issues that face us, but whats the chance of that.........?

Okay........only prob I have had with my Powers is when they are medium hot and I feel the odd kick out but I only have an SV1000S so I am happy and the 'kick' feels secure........

Me and Fish got nailed in the tight stuff from Tairua to Whangamata by a well known racer on a Husaberg 630 on Pirelli SLICKS.... never seen em before but want a set

btw I nailed him back on the high speed corner stuff.... he said he followed me around 1 corner about 200 and i was silky smooth and he was flapping about all over the place lol

well folks, ive just scrubbed in the new pilot powers......
they are AMAZING!!!!!
totally changed the way the bike feels and turns.
the first few hundred metres on them riding away from having them fitted they felt a little strange (read different), but after i got used to them, well, i have never felt so "in control".
I thought that my new bike was awesome b4.......
now its fu*#ing awesome!!!!!!
a whole new beast etc
what else can i say

Cheers, Allan
