The tyre test looks interesting with the Avon Supersport doing well, they're £145 a pair on Ebay!

Dam why do they always publish the paper copy before the digital copy. You would think it was the other way round.

Which tyres they test ?

Avon 3D Ultra sport (sorry not the more road biased super sport)
Bridgestone S21
Continental Sport Attack 3
Dunlop Sportsmart 2 Max
Metzeler M7RR
Michelin Power RS
Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3
Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa 2

This is the fast road test, track test next month..

Sounds a good article.

I would consider the Avon but unfortunately they dont do it in a 200/55

Looks like I'm not due my copy till 6th June fecker

The conti have been getting good reviews for a while.

I'm surprised to see the RS so low.

You read the same article ????

The Conti were slated into 6th out of 8 and the RS were very narrowly beaten to come in 2nd place.

The big shocker were the new Rosso Corsa II

My bad, I thought Stonesie had listed them in test order.

Got the mag. Glad to see everyone agrees with me about the M7RR tyres

Cheers Blade

M7RR are fantasic. Proper fancy trying out those Michys to be honest!

Just got a set of the Mich RS but maybe I should have gone for the m7rr

I don't think you've made the wrong choice. I suspect the RS will do better in the track tests. They're a new tyre and sportier.

Maybe but I've bought them for the road as can't get the bike through track noise test unfortunately.

They're not far apart on the road test.

Put the new tyres on your bike, give me your bike for a day and I'll let you know what I think

Haha tell you what you can follow me and tell.me how big the darkies are

Joking aside I'm sure there a great tyre. Andy has them on his bike and he likes them

Im sure you will like them Blade. Thought Andy had them as well on his Duke! Let us know how you get on with them. I bought the M7RR after reading and following Kwacky so a good 'Live with' thread is the way forward and gives it a good all round view of what they are like

Today, a pair of Phillips H4 LED bulbs and canbus adaptors, my bike only needs one set so the other may be available after testing.
Not strictly legal but they appear to be the very best beam pattern available at the moment in LED H4's, Phillips have been in the game for a while so I can't see them putting their name on crap.

A SW Motec alloy top box rack and givi adapter plate for the sdgt.

Guess what I'm doing to my bike this weekend.
