Tyres recommendations - 800ss
I'm putting one of my 800ss bikes on the road to act as a test bed for my 800ss racer. I need some tyres.
Normally I use and like D207's which, despite being deeply unfashionable, work well on a big & heavy bike like my Triumph. However, I don't think they would be suitable for the 800 due to its lower weight and power. I have tried and liked Diablos but, my riding style shags the front in less than 1500 miles on the shoulders soooooo........they are out.
Recommendations? Any input on Avon Vipers, Metzeler Sportec M1's? I'm not a great fan of any Michelins I have tried but, I'm willing to reconsider.
As it is purely road use, the stickiest most fashionable tyre is not really necessary. Use is 100% hooning.
Cheers!
