Superdukes. Serving up shame to sportsbikes since ages ago.

Outright grip
Because it is all I can find to fit my bike. Who had the great idea of a 18" front and 16" rear anyway FFS?
Stickier the better and cheap as possible.
Yup I want the best for nothing.
The Conti Sport Attacks are pretty good for a very good price.
It's not that I'm wrong- It's your too dumb to understand!!!
The top 3 and
Depends on the bike and
Depends on the season and
I like to experiment - had 9 different tyres in the last 2 years.
I like the colour.......![]()
A combination of longevity and grip. The new Avon Storms are the best tyre I've ever fitted to the Blackbird - see my extended evaluation:http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=46385 and also the comments by Hitcher. A superb sport/touring tyre.
I tried to do the value for money thing, but when I purchased my thou, I discovered that way of thinkin just dont cut it. It did allow me to learn how to drift the beast tho![]()
I get about a month from a supercorsa now, and what a fuckin fantastic month it is![]()
The amount of smoke it gives off over the longest possible time.
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY
BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
I dont have a definate answer on this one. I am brand loyal, I do like grip, but I also want longivity, so for me it is overall performance, and if I can get that from another brand at a better price, then I will give them a go.
I am kinda new when it comes to choosing and buying tyres for a bigger and higher performance bike compared to what I have owned in the past. So really as my tyres run bare, I am trying types within the Metzler brand, and will look accross brands to get what I feel good with.
Traction and value ($$/km kinda thing). I get to know what I like, what feels nice on the bike and use that.
For me it's BT020s ideally but I'm open to others.
$2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details
