was riding home this morning from VTNZ and was really enjoying the little beast!! was seriously tempted to fuck off over the saddle but i knew there was a whining customer to sort out so had to get in the cage and come to work....

ah ,how long have they lasted on the FZ1 ? How did you find them for cornering,were they fairly sticky ?

The rear tyre has done about 5k and it's feeling pretty pooped! front one looks hardly worried about it, they went on when I bought the bike.
They take more to warm up than the michelin (I think) but it's hard to say be I cant compare apples with apples at the moment until I get some PP's on the bike and run them for a while but I will be going back to Michelin's.
They stick pretty well from as far as my megere talent's can tell but I noticed during the short time I ran them on the Ace that I did'nt quite get the feeling of confidence the I did on PP's

hmm yea thats good to know that ,im thinking of pilot powers myself but ive had people say they are hard to warm up on a 600 and that you need to ride them very hard to get them sticky or something ...But then again my kat 600 is fairly heavy so it shouldn't be a problem im guessing

That's basically the feeling I have about the front Conti on my bike but considering the lack of wear I might find it to be an issue what ever tyre I put on there. I found the Michies warmed easy, but a lot more weight to get things going in my case.
Village Gixxer Idiot
o ok ,yea well thats what i was hoping with my katana ,its not as heavy as the FZ1 but then again its not a lightweight GSXR so im thinking even though its not a speed/torque machine its got a bit of weight on it so i should be alright with the pp's as this would cause them to warm up normally .... i hope so anyway,as ive got a road and sport on at the moment and dont really find them that great at all,so want to replace them with something a little more sticky ,was also thinking Metzeler M3's as they get good write up also

I reckon the PP's warm quickly too. When running 0-psi, they actually melt.

deploy the yak!
it's not....yet....
there are quite a few bikes I'd like to try but they're mostly not in palmy and I haven't had the RF so I cant get there, need to take mrs yod too so we can try them all 2-up as well of course....
(the thought of driving a car around the countryside in my bike gear to test ride bikes just seems....wrong..... and it wouldnt be half as much fun)
will report on any and all i try tho

Rest In Peace
Like the idea of taking the better half along with you,at least ya are halfway there with a new bike(she is ok with it lol).
How long before the parts arrive for the beast?The proverbial slow boat from Japan is a bugger,when they arrive for you it will mean the end of the drought for cockies.Hopefully the days will remain fine,weekend weather seems to be typical here,fine thurs,fri,then showers/rain sat and sunday.
Hello officer put it on my tab
Don't steal the government hates competition.
Hibernating
but the mighty VFR is now legal & running ..
actually grub was telling me winter is the best time to buy bikes ..
anyhow its fun test riding for sure .. & when you test ride the "one" bike that has your name written on it, you will know
Have to
