I love the 616 on my Ulysses, just wish they'd make it in dual compound because I always flat spot 'em.
For the 1125, I have a spare ContiMotion rear that I'll spoon on when the Pirelli is dead; by the time the Conti dies I'll need a front too so it'll get PR3's just like my tubers have. I love that tire and it gives me great tread life - my S2 has nearly 7k on a set and they still look nearly new (granted, those are PR2's, not 3's). |

Threw an Anget ST on my 08 R and pulled a 2500 mile trip to Chicago and back. It wore and handled well. I've leaned through a couple of corners and it seems to hold well. The front tire is still a Diablo, and I may need to replace that now as it has a flat spot now. |

I'm all about the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP. Threw a 190/55 on my XB and love it.
YMMV,

i started running pilot powers a bit ago. run them on the green 9 with good success even at some very aggressive track days. so we will see how they hold up to the 1125's.
and at $200 a pair i figured why not buy a few sets lol. |

You can buy the Pilot Powers from jakewilson.com for ~$197 and comes with free shipping.
Tim, how many miles do you usually get out of a rear? I got the Rosso on my back right now, and at just over 3.5k miles, i'm seeing cords. |

Here is a picture of my Rosso Corsa after a spirited Starved Rock run. Two up. This is with about 2K miles this year and about 1K last year

rocky mountain atv free shipping and tire prices are quite cheap
I bought the new diablos when cycle gear was having a good sale on them, cheap but I wont buy them again. They lack quite a bit in the grip department. |

My local Cycle Gear had the same sale, but it was on the Diablo, not the new Diablo Rosso Corsa.
The Diablo is a 10+ year-old tire at this point. And, I agree, they ain't all that.
Sure you aren't confusing them? |

they def. arnt the rosso corsa.
They just say Diablo on them. They are supposed to be a updated standard diablo. 160 for a set is good, but id rather have some serious grip next time. Ill pay the extra coin to feel what a super grippy tire feels like. |

They aren't. They are the standard Diablo. And, compared to the modern tires out there, they aren't all that special, I agree.
Try the Diablo Rosso Corsa. Or, the Dunlop Q2. Or, the Power Pure.
We are in an age of pretty amazing tires for about $250 a set. |

I have the Rosso Corsa and I think they grip plenty well. I haven't used them on a track day but I do use them on the street through twisties and I think they grip well. I used to have 2CTs and like the Rosso more.
Just my opinion though. |
