I thought I like the tires until I started losing the front in regular city riding. Not enough to cause me to go down or even lose my line but enough that I immediately start to stand the bike up. Too sudden, too unpredictable. No like. |

Glad both you and the bike are ok - tyre warmers are a cheap and reliable aid to sorting this cold tyre problem out, I was lucky enough to get a 2.3 KVA new petrol generator for £120 sterling recently and it was money well spent especially to keep the tyres warm between track sessions. In the UK it is typically 20 mins on track followed by 40 mins off track (3 groups of riders). Must admit I changed from the Corsa IIIs straight away to Diablo Supercorsa SC1/SC2 (Message edited by Dirty_john on April 14, 2010) (Message edited by Dirty_john on April 14, 2010) |

I thought I liked the Corsas but I'm much happier with how the Michelin Power turn in. Did not like the Bridgestone BT-003RS that much, never felt confident about when they would lose grip. The Michelins warm up quick and feel very predictable when they start to slide. |

Dude glad you are ok and yes I have been told by numerous people that the scoops on the buell has saved them tons of money. and please ride the buell only by having them on the track new comers relaize its not a joke of a bike but a bike that can whip a R6. I used Pirellis and have never gone back they have yet to let me down or put me down,lol you have a sweet looking bike |
