    Haa yeah man sport demons are not a premium tyre. But for 250s doing well under 200kph they have more than ample grip to handle what you can throw at them. I've had 3 rears and 2 fronts on the spada, sweet as.

    So correct me if I'm wrong but can you have slicks in the street stock class? or do they gotta be road tyres?

    (Those stock ones that come with the daytona 675 look almost slick)

    Slicks are ok for most clubs but Vic Club prohibit them in their suplementary regs, we have to run road legal tyres. I prefer the road legal rules.

    It would waste an FXR150 on a full size track.

    I do wonder where you got 26 horspower from too, does it have stickers on it?

    I used to have a GSX250 another fatty 250 twin and it was quite comparable to a 150 in track speed.
    It was great with the earlier maligned IRC RX01s too...

    Maybe.
    I know Dunlop TT900s and Bridgestone BT39SSs work though, I've seen Michelin Sportys out there but not on the podium.

    In streetstock because you can't modify the bike having slightly better tyres than the other guy can mean so much.

    Yeah, but, in the 250 twins, if you have any bike but a vt250f2 or vt250j you are going to be too slow and heavy and need to be part rossi
