the new bike has them are they any good ? how many ks before im looking for a new set?

Yep, they are good. I'm running a Pirelli Diablo Strada rear and Diablo Corsa front and I'm happy with them. bear in mind I'm running a 1400 with heaps of low down torque so I think I should get around 4,000kms out of them and believe me, that's good. Dunlops were running 3200-300kms.

They handle well, goo in the wet and dry :0

Congrats on the new bike..........yep ive tried a few different brands on the TLS and the diablos are the best by far..............

I'm giving one a go on the back of the SV. Only a day old, so no details yet. The guys at the sv-portal seem to rate them.

Great everyday type tyre.
Like Beyond - Im running a Strada on the rear but a normal Diabolical on the front. The Strada is fantastic on the wet. Have done a track day on them and even a drag meet. Probably get close to 10,000+out of the rear as I'm on Ohlins, am fussy about tyre pressures and tend not to push on the road.

Hmmm disagree with all of the above, i run pilots usually, i find diabolicals" too slippery in the wet..

i got the bike on saturday and did around 100 miles (not ks) on sat /sun but now my wife is riding it to work so the only time i will get a go it will need gas!!!

The Diablo is a great tyre jimjim, certainly one of my favourites.
Diablo Strada is the best wet weather/winter tyre IMO.
Crash and burn on the road with a Diablo your a muppet.

Add another vote in favour of Pirelli. I reckon the Diablos are brilliant in the wet. For a change I've switched to the Conti Sport Attacks- Ok in the dry. Below average in the wet, so I will probably go back to Diablo Corsas for this 'not so powerful' beemer.

Yep good tyres. Cane it and it will wear quickly but that's what you need to stay rubber side up. 3-4Km would be a good run.

Yea i've been running diablo corsas and they are good even on the track they pretty good, cant give ya much wet weather stuff on em. My bike is bit twitchy in wet with them. But hey what ya expect.

I use to run super corsas they were awesome apart from the wet due to a lack of tread pattern on the sides but hey if ya buy that tyre ya know what your in for.
