I got a pair of ContiForce tyres for my 900 from M&P. £120 the pair. They handle fine and seem to be wearing well. Pleased? You bet.  PS. If you want to go fast on rough roads you MUST be a track god. Anyone can go fast on a sports bike, but on a heavy, road compromised bike like a Divvie 900 - that takes real skill. |

I've just switched from using BT020's to Michelins Pilot Road 2's. I wasn't overly impressed with the reviews that the new BT021's had had, so I though id have a change. So far (approx 1,00 miles use so far) they are very good. I do find them a lot more grippy then the 020's, and weve had some rain here recently and they seemed to handle well in that. I shall be interested to see what mileage I get from them, Cheers

I´ve bought Michelin Pilot road after bad experience with a cheap Metzeller lasertec. Rear and front at the moment = 12.000 kms, I think that can last 2000 km more (rear). Performance is ok, I commute with her and teherefore it´s what I ask, durability and enough reliability.
sorry for the Kms
Bah

If you want to go fast on a rough road......................don't try it on a sports bike, use a big trail type bike with loads of suspension travel.
Like a GS ;D..........................................ask Penfold

i have conti road attack on my 900, good grip, only done 250 miles, but they work ok, i liked the bridgestones 020's and the origonal Dunlop 505's(i think), but i tried Avon Azzaros, which were very twitchy, rear tread seems particulary deep and the tyre looks cool, , just fitted a conti trial attack on me Gs and that seems good to i was reccomended the road attack's by members of this club  |

I should have said that the bike is currently shod with Exedra G602 rear & G601 front, as fitted when I got the bike.

Like a GS ;D..........................................ask Penfold Can't argue with that. The way many sports bike riders blast up the straights, then brake hard & toddle around the bends, perhaps it pays to sit high up and better see what's coming up. BTW, my Conti's seem to be wearing the front faster than the back. I dont hang about so surprised how well the rear is doing. Maybe its the blue spots. |
