Hope it\'s DRY

Hi Andy,

Fingers crossed for tomorrow mate as these extra special Ducs have been known to melt in the rain !! Mine's nearly did last Saturday when I got caught in it

Watch out for those Pilot race tyres I nearly high sided mine last night at a T junction doing about 10 mph

I think i'll leave them on until Jerez then change them for something a bit more road focused. Any suggestions anyone ?

Regards and good luck

Bill,

I'd be tempted by Diablo's I think, then again, how many road miles are you planning on?

If you're going to do more and more trackdays maybe it would be worth sticking with a track focused tyre?

No point in listening to me! I needed 12 weeks and 4 mates to tell me what tyres to fit the last time!!

You getting out to play on Friday?

Cheers!

Scott

I thought standard fitment was Diablo corsa's , thats what mine arrived at the shop with anyway

I've been using Diablo corsa's on the 999S and have found them superb in all conditions

Of the 4 bikes that Ducati Glasgow got 2 were fitted with Michelins and 2 with Pirelli's. I drew the short straw mate

Did you know that they still have a 749R for sale in stock at the moment ?
