Something tells me it ain't going to last too long though!
tell me why do battlaxs really scuff and tear up, while i've noticed the m3 stay relatively smooth.

That's a characteristic of the M3.
Mine didn't last too long on my 750...probably NOT helped by the fact I'm 98kg!

There is not much wrong with BTs, I can tell ya they aquaplane at 240 somethinks in a downpour where the rain is bouncing back off the road a metre high, just wear a tad quick at 4 to 4.5 thou ks, I had a bt 020 that lasted 8 thou, and it was as good as any of the stickies.

its probably because teh 750 and teh duke dont put out that much HP that we ever notice the tyres huh?It's all muscle!

You probably got a good point, Dunc.its probably because teh 750 and teh duke dont put out that much HP that we ever notice the tyres huh?
The sem fiddy is handling totally neutral now.... feels like it's reading my mind! It's a very flickable bike anyway, and feels moreso with the 016s

See what that test says about the Michelins though Pussy? Backs up what I was saying yesterday about there not being much between them. probably just personal preference on the 'feel' (it's all in your head I'm telling you!) and I wouldn't be surprised if the Michelins get slightly better mileage, be good if some Pilot Power 2CT users chimed in at this point....
But either way, both good tyres IMHO

16's have great feel, but mileage is abysmal. 2CT's last a good deal longer, even sport attacks last longer than 016's.See what that test says about the Michelins though Pussy?

ZZZZZZZZZZ
I got about 8500km out of 2 front Michelins and 7300km out of the BT-016 front.See what that test says about the Michelins though Pussy?

Rear Michelins last me about 4500km. BT-016 still new, but I'm guessing 3000km, so time will tell.

Mmm, yep that's about what I would have expected. (Pussy will probably get more mileage though the way he rides...
