Pilot sports?? Bad choice...especially the rear

If you want to run sports, then at least run a pilot road rear with a sport front. The pilot sport rears are a shit tyre. Crap in the wet, on a bike like a bbird you'll screw the middle out of it before you have time to decide you've made the wrong choice.

The pilot road will last twice as long, hold it's profile ,be FAR better in the wet and believe it or not give more grip in the dry aswell.

The usa Bird org seem to like the Michelins!

Yes, but they're Merkins -- probably never seen a corner, ever. Lots of long straight riding on cement roads. A Blackbird is not a sportsbike, and I think you're wasting your money with Pilot Powers, unless you're only interested in fashion...

Thanks but I am not that kean dont really like the look of the trad pattern, and i think the powers or M3 are meant tobe stickier?

Buy some semi slick Shinkos then.
