Is this the right sort of tyre for me. 100-200 miles a week, some track days, mainly around London / Home Counties?

ACF-50 - Any Good?

I ride my Duke every day and she is starting to suffer. I worried about salt spray. ACF-50 looks good on paper, but at £99 per 4 litres so expensive.

Any deals out there?
