Running a Z6 rear & a M-1 Metz on my GSRX 1000 . Have done 3000K on the back looks excellent no back egde gone or front egde like others I had on .
Mates have Diablos on there Mille R's & seam to be getting toasted by the looks for only medium K's . If grip is what you are after then the Diablos would be a good bet or the new " Power Pilot " even the new Brigdey 014s are great

Bike Mag did a semi(?) scientific tyre test (October 2004).

They tested Bridgestone BT 020, Metzeler M1, and Diablo Corsa on an FZ1 and a CBR600RR.

Basically the BT020s would let them ground the pegs on the FZ1, at that point the usable limit is attained and any extra grip can't be used.

The 020s gave the best result in a one-off crash stop. The others did better on subsequent stops. The M1s made the bike heavier to steer and in consequence the 020s did faster laps. Of the Diablo's they said, "More grip than you need."

Of the Diablo's on the 600 they said "You could race on these."

Before the test was finished it rained, both testers were happy at speed on the 600 fitted with the 020s. "The best of all worlds".

"If all the tyres were run in the same conditions there would be very little in it, possibly even favouring the touring tyre."

Hi

I got a CBR 600 2001 / 02 model
its got Michelin Tyres...and need replacement.

Now im not a racing guru and thus not yet expereinced to FEEL the difference between the different tyres...

However, after research from this site, it seems the Bridgestone tyres are the best ....is this true..?? and where can i get new ones for a GOOD price..?

and i found a set of Michelin for 230 NZ.... new. Good or not? Reason i wanna fit michelin is my bike is rossi replica and its got like michelin stickers , so thought be loyal to michelin, but taking my life and safety into consideration, id rather go for the safest and best in the market

Any help would really be appreciated

Ive had several sets of Metzler MEZ4 on the VTR . Great all round tyre . 10,000km on rear. My CBR1000RR had Diablo Corsers , There to soft for general riding, put a stone thru rear and the tyre didnt seen to have a lot of guts to it. Last weekend I had a new tyre to put on VTR so burnt out the MEZ4 and was very impresssed if the band of wire in it. Excellent protection against punctures. They have been replaced by the new Z6.
