Lovely example of a ZX6R love the colour. In all honesty you wouldn't of gone too far wrong with either bike. Was it a private sale or dealer?

Re: Head or Heart?
I know you are being funny about the upside down pic but I'm pretty sure they are BT 023's. I've still got them on the triumph and I pretty sure I recognised the pattern. Toss them for some Metzelers would be my choice.Blade wrote:What tyres are on it ? They look super stickylike sh1t to a blanket with there anti gravity effect

Re: Head or Heart?
HAHA very funny guys, I've been stuck in the car all day dreaming of next Friday. Can't chuffing wait.
Here's a few more upside down photos, really is in good nick for a 6 year old bike. Yes the tyres will be going, replaced with the SCs I've got stashed in the garage but not until the spring. Plus that hydrofoil thingy on the rear and the can.

Re: Head or Heart?
Who puts touring tyres in a sports bike? How many mikes has it covered, Monty? Looks minty fresh.

Re: Head or Heart?
To be honest BT023 are apparently a fab tyre with great mileage. Not a silly idea having those
