Author Message   Dick Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 07:42 pm:        Any one run the City X Pirelli Scorpion's on a Standard Lightning.Only reason asking is I can pick up a set from my local dealer real cheap.How did the bike handle on the high speed and twisty's.   Lastcyclone Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 08:10 pm:        How much is "real cheap"?   Nasty73z Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 08:12 pm:        Cheaper than a set of Pilot Powers for $210 plus shipping? 'Cuz they are way better tires.   Dick Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 08:27 pm:        Well not so cheap I guess dealer want's $250.00 mount and ball with tax. I live in the Seattle WA area so no deals here much at all.Just checking around 5K on the factory 208's so will be needing new rubber soon.   Asym50 Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 08:39 pm:        They perform great. I have them on a 2005 XB12Scg. The dealer installed them when I purchased the bike new. I asked them to swap out the wheels and tires from a 2005 CityX they had in the showroom for the amber wheels that were standard on the XB12Scg.   Old_man Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 09:02 pm:        I have them on my 2003 XB9S, Of the tires I had on the bike (original Dunlops then Metzler Sportec M1) the Pirelli Scorpions handle the best. I highly recommend them.   99buellx1 Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 09:19 pm:        quote: 'Cuz they are way better tires What makes you say that? I am a big fan of the Sync's. Very predictible and good tread life. My confidence in them:   Dtx Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 09:22 pm:        Ditto...   99buellx1 Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 09:25 pm:        BTW, that seems like a good price to me especially including the mount and balance.   Metalstorm Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 09:25 pm:        I have the Syncs on my 05 12Scg as well & I love them. Night & day difference compared to the stock Dunlops. They were the very first performance mod I did to my bike.   Dick Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 09:28 pm:        Good enuff for me cuz the dealer wanted $400.00 for any other tire's and this is a private bike shop NOT local my Buell dealer they would be more.   Pupu Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 09:47 pm:        seems cheap to me, i spent 290 for my pilot powers out the door. (mounted, balanced and tire disposal.)   Chadhargis Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 01:33 pm:        I LOVE Pirelli tires. I run the Diablo Strads on my Ulysses. Work great!   Diablobrian Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 10:26 pm:        Pirelli seems to have Buell's number in the tire department. I LOVE my Diablo Corsas too   Skully Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 10:39 pm:        Cheaper than a set of Pilot Powers for $210 plus shipping? 'Cuz they are way better tires. Please define better. I too replaced the stock Dunlops with Pilots and was never really happy with the way the bike handled. When I read how well the XBs liked the Scorpions, I decided to try them. I'm on the second set now. I also run the Pirelli Dragon Super Corsa Pros when I race the Lightning and they are fantastic. Keith   Kccyclone Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 11:19 pm:        I love my Scorpions...they even did pretty good on the track...(not my 1st choice for the track, but they did the job) I got mine from Bike Bandit for 203.00 to the door....
