Friend of mine has just slung a new pair of these on his Duke, did a few session at Oulton last week, and ended up highsiding the thing, written the bike off... fortunately he is OK.
Problem is looking at the tyres, they hardly look worn, and there is roughly a 6 inch patch which has never been in contact with the tarmac, still shiny, obviously a defective tyre, maybe carcass etc... but I know I won't be buying them now, or any Pirelli's if they didn't pick up on that before they shipped it.
Hello JP, you want Rennsports mate, RS1 Front, and RS2 Rear 180. You will only get about 1500 miles, but the confidence is awesome. Absolutely fantastic grip. We are meeting on Saturday for the ride to Wales. See ya then. Phillip
I have a Diablo on the rear of my 748 and i have the same problem, the tyre has gon shiny and does not look worn. It still seems to give me good grip but it does not look right!
