GET ONE, GET ONE, GET ONE, GET ONE.

I like my bike.

A lot.

I'd have to agree with the newer twin-spark thing, endless power and super smooth.

JUST GET IT!!

Yeah, I've seen the sensible light and I'm heading towards that now!

You might learn how to get your knee down if you ride a proper bike, that would be nice for you!

I'm layed up in bed for the next month or so but after that I will have a look at suspension, won't be buying tyres until I'm able to start riding again anyway. Hadn't even thought that he may have changed it, who in their right mind buys a brand new rc8 and sells it after doing 1600 miles anyway?! Must've been a wrong'un...

Yeah, I can't work out why I don't like them either after all the reviews I've read. Most people rave about them.

Just don't seem to like the feel I get with them... I know they're really good tyre's, but I feel a lot better on Bridgestone and Pirelli's that I've had in the past. Also, it doesn't help that the guy before me put 1600 miles on them just doing motorway miles so turning in feels like falling of the edge of the world. I'd probably be ok with them if I had them from new but I fancy a change.

I've had the Maxxis and crashed on the Maxxis, not a great fan.

Yeah, for the RC8. Can't get on with the Dunlop's, I know they're good tyres but not for me.

I think I might try the Metzeler's. Cheaper than most of the top stuff and got really good reviews everywhere. Wear will be a lot better than supercorsa's and tread looks good for wet riding aswell. Pilot Powers appear to be the tyre of choice for most people though... Hmmmmm...

I may have been converted... Could have used a proper bike to test them on though.

Metzeler m7rr are allegedly the tyre du jour. and not hyper expensive

Any idea on life and wetness abilities?

The Super Corsas are lethal in the wet...life is piss poor...real sticky in the right conditions.

I knew life wouldn't be great and I'm a fair weather rider... Might have to risk it just for the grin factor on the occasional sunny day that we get.

Yeah, I hated it! Road is different from track though... I won't be riding in the rain unless I get caught out though, so shouldn't be a problem... He says...

I hadn't thought about scrubs! That's a well good idea, I'll look into doing that.Just got to be careful to make sure they're a decent seller before I buy them, I guess.
