+Alex S LOL, man I actually bust out laughing after reading this... good stuff. I have them on my recently acquired Ninja 250 and I've taken them to the edge on parking lot drills, so definitely okay grip for stock tires.
you can get one for less than 100 bucks a month, dude. go get one. i would like to point out that suzuki has extraordinarily low interest rates. if you're tier 1 or tier 2, you get 0 percent fixed rate for the entire loan. it's not a limited time thing, it's the entire freaking loan and it's their normal rates. the maximum rate if you have the worst credit possible is still less than tier 1 rate from kawasaki. i know because i just bought a bike from a kawa/suzuki dealer. i would have gotten 14% interest from a kawa, but i got 0% from suzuki.
I bought a used 2016 Goldwing with the expectation of new tires before I took ownership. I thought I’d get the OEM tire but they put the Shinko touring tire on it. I didn’t go 50 miles before I put new tires on it. They would have killed me. I thought the shop installed the wrong Shinko as the sidewall couldn’t handle the weight. I was wrong as their website called out that tire for the Goldwing. I’ll never use anything but Dunlop again.
Great review. I own a 1988 VTR250 and there has always just been but a few choices available. Now manufacturers have found a new rider category and the tire folks have come through.
+almass a khan damn true.. Super grippy but less life time.. R u from India? We get metzelar as stock tire for the 390.. Like I said nice grip but it'll last for around 10k to 12k kms
i went to the dealer in my country (peru) for a 2015 rc 390, i saw one (older) with metzelers and the one i bought came with pirelli diablo rosso, that was kind of weird, are metzellers more expensive or something maybe they changed them before delivering the bike to me ...
I've got the Michelin Pilot Street radial and as you said, they're really good in the rain and last a good 15'000km (a bit under 10k miles), you can still use them on twisty roads if you don't put crazy angles which you shouldn't on open roads ;)
you defenitly want the best tyres for a bike iff u are going to lean over and play at the limit! thanks for great review guys :) il recomend brigdestones s20 evo tires to my shop ;) and friends :)
I'm getting Rosso III's. Do you reccommend 140/70 or 150/60? I only care about feel/grip/handling (disregard wear, price, strightline stability or looks) Thx!
howcome you didn't test the Metzeler sportec M5s? They come stock with the bike here in India and I personally feel that they are great tyres however since I am new to bikes and this is my first bike, I haven't tested any other tyres in the category. I'd love to know what Ari has to say about them he's kinda like an idol for me :P
No Pirelli Supercorsa SC? or Dunlop Alpha-13? I swapped the stock Metzeler M5's on my RC390 with the Alpha-13's and the Alpha-13's were much better, the M5's feel like a reasonably sticky road tyre, where the Alpha-13's feel like a road legal track tire. If grip is your primary concern then I would get either one of these two tires.
After hearing spacepods review on the rosso 2 being a new rider, I bought them and loved them as I have a lot more experience on bikes and have tried different tires. Hands down the bstone s20 evo is king. Grips better and lasted me 3 months rear compared to 1 month with the rossos. I am a track oriented guy and love the s20 evos and now the s21 for my 750. Pirellis wear extremely unevenly. If you buy the rossos once you pass 1500 miles check your tire, pref when cleaning your chain to spin the tire and check it out. The pirelli will look fine until you get to the other side and see where your cords are about to pop through. Looks like the middle of the tire is splitting open for those who don't know.
running a 160/60-r17 on the back of my 2016 r3 and the stock 110/70-r17 on the front, Both are Michelin pilot power 2CT tires i had to ditch the 140 rear as they do not make this tire that small, Bike is day and night compared to the stock pilot streets and even the two sets of pilot street radials i had, Definitely worth it to get the good tires.
The Michelin Pilot Streets are really let down by that rear tire. The problem gets even worse when it gets a little wet. The rear has AWFULL grip in the rain. It feels really good and planted untill you give it just a smidge of lean angle. At that point the rear end completely loses grip and you have to do a big correction to not lose it. If they can find a way to fix the weird grip levels in the tire I think it would probably be the best "around town tire" for small cc sport/naked bikes. Wet weather riding becomes really scary when 80% of the intersections in your town are roundabouts.
I've got the S20's on my wr250x and am thinking about getting an RC390 for the weekend/track and I'd not hesitate for a second to put the new S21's on that bad boy.
I have a question, the most premium tyres i can get at my country are: Corsa R93 (indonesian brand), Pirelli Diablo Rosso II or Sportdragon and Michelin Pilot Street. Should i be going by the Rosso II then?
Sebastián Núñez Peña Corsa R93 is definitely the best from that group.. have personally used it myself. you won't get too many mileage out of it though.. since it's a bit softer
What about the Metzeler's M5 Sportec tyres? The Indian bike comes equipped with them. I was wondering how they'll perform against the Bridgestones and the Pirellis.
***** Please oh please do a tire comparo with the best DOT tires on a 600 or liter bike. Really curious about Evos on bigger bike and also the new RS10 in comparison to like q3's or supercorsa's. Great Video, friend just bought a 390 and we were just discussing tire choices for the smaller bikes. Thanks
Hi, great video, Thanks. May I ask why the Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact have not been featured here. They are stock here in India and I am assuming other countries as well. They are pretty awesome soft compound tires as well. Would be nice to see how they match up to the US / UK spec tire. Thanks & keep the videos coming...
Ari, are you considering to test those tires on streets or rainy conditions? If you did already, what was your experiments? In Turkey, we always choosing to use most soft tires like Rosso II and Pilot Street and avoiding to use IRC's
Could someone please do a test run with Metzeler, Pirelli and MRF in the future? Just eager to know how will they perform as compared to the other mainstream brands out there...
i just ran out of my new tires and wanted to try something else . i used diablo rosso II . im gonna try bridgestone and see if its as good as my pirelli or should i switch back . thank u for ur helpful review btw😁🧡❤
Ari, how about a comparison between small bike track tires? I would love to hear your opinion of the Bridge-stones VS Alpha 13's Vs Pirelli Super Corsas. Also, why doesn't bridge stone have the r10 in small bike sizes in the states?
+Luiz Diaz It wouldn't be unsafe. It would sort of be a waste though. You wouldn't be able to use all of the tire. Plus, it would make handling a bit different in the turns. All I can think of advantage wise is that it may be a bit more stable at higher straight line speeds.
I just saw the video! and I'm surprise that IRC RoadWinner price there was over 200$, here in Indonesia (its manufactured here I believe) only cost 80$-90$ per sets, and yep all 250cc bikes comes with that tires!
Nice clip as all from MC Garage :-). As bridgestone now have new model S21 that is supposed to be S20 replacement. Could you do short comparison of these two?
I use Kenda Challenger tire's on my bike. They were one of the only tire's I could find for my bike that weren't ridiculously expensive. I paid $40 a tire and it's extremely solid for commuting.
They were actually one of the few tires I could find for my rim sizes. I have had 0 problem's with them, and I've taken them out when it was 55+ degrees, wet, and taken sharp corners faster than needed. They grip really well and will not hesitate to stop the bike quickly. I really don't understand the hate.
Schleberger I never said I was cutting any corners. They were out of only a few tires to choose from, and the rest were $200 a tire, I'm not putting on tires that are worth as much as my bike.
Thanks for this. Very handy. Ever since michelin discontinued their single compound pilotpower road sport I've been curious to find out what else suits. Have tried the s20s and found them good, but not as good as the michelin road sports i used to have.
The IRC RX-01 road winner compound type are soft or medium-soft..?? my bike yamaha R25 comming with this kind of tyre but i think In my country is medium-soft. Is it safe for race.?? Thx for response
great video, i couldnt say enough about how important tires are on any bike especially these little sportbikes that people often start out on. more grip and control is the kind of confidence a new rider needs out of their tires. i started out on a 2008 ninja 250r with some sort of cheap stock shit tire kawasaki chose and i just thought that kind of tire performance was normal until i upgraded to a more expensive michelin brand
I am looking to get new set of shoes for my R3, your review has really helped. You didn't comment much about Pirelli 140 rear. We get here 110/70 and 140/70 here in India, but a H rated one. Would really like to know how would it fair against the M7rr 110/70 and 150/60? Would be kind of you if you can help make a decision here.
I am looking for the best combo on a 250 sm for grip not milage. I would like to run a 130 110 combo on 17s and I can't find alot of choices. What's your top pic? any other input would be appreciated.
I'm looking for tyres in this size range for my WR250X motard. Should be the same requirements. I wonder how the Conti Attack SM fits in with this hierarchy?
Are the bike's shocks stock? because I can see that hydraulic-valve-thingy (how is that thing called, anyway?) under the bike's tail. I got a pair of Rosso IIs for my Duke, they're expensive, wear fast,and I just don't like how they behave. They got a decent grip, but the rear tends to slide and lose traction when leaning and giving gas going out of corners, and I'm talking about street speeds, I don't do track. My mechanic said, before installing and after inspecting them, that they're different than last year's model - they're less round and look\feel different. The tires' dealer backed him up by saying that Pirelli have changed the Rosso IIs compound, so they're pretty much different tires.. (I got my bike with half-worn Rosso IIs liked them back then) Thanks for the review guys, Bridgestone is going to be my next pick.
+Ari Henning JRI is only a small drive from me, and it's great to see the testing they have been doing in the sport bike community lately. I've been riding for awhile, and have a wide range of different bikes... Looking for something a bit toned down for the street, I could have fun with in the corners though, but still be decent enough for a work commute whenever I wanted to take it. Would you consider a RC390 or the duke? Or just spend a few more bucks and get a fz07? I've had many Aprilias, Ducatis, Triumphs, and everything in between...
it will be good if you try IRC iz-s. I am using it with my cb300. the price is about $200. and it work so well. you have to try it and and you will believe me that it is good! please try it.
I tried to finish off IRC road winners with a burn out once.. I ran out of gas.
+Alex S LOL, man I actually bust out laughing after reading this... good stuff. I have them on my recently acquired Ninja 250 and I've taken them to the edge on parking lot drills, so definitely okay grip for stock tires.
I'm surprised you did t run out of top end first...
Got a 8 year old set on my CBR250R; definitely need to be replaced by now but I'll replace them with more IRC's.
Very informative, good tire reviews are rare.
This episode is brought to you by Bridgestone tires. Performance on the edge.
Need an updated version of this test with todays tyres and newer ktm 2017-2021 or ninja 400 !
I'm pretty sure the new RC390 uses the same sized tire still
why am i watching this, i dont even have a bike
WELL...U R NOT ALONE
Come join us!
you can get one for less than 100 bucks a month, dude. go get one.
i would like to point out that suzuki has extraordinarily low interest rates. if you're tier 1 or tier 2, you get 0 percent fixed rate for the entire loan. it's not a limited time thing, it's the entire freaking loan and it's their normal rates. the maximum rate if you have the worst credit possible is still less than tier 1 rate from kawasaki. i know because i just bought a bike from a kawa/suzuki dealer. i would have gotten 14% interest from a kawa, but i got 0% from suzuki.
IT IS YOUR DESTINY...
EMBRACE IT
Ludwig Honauer hahaha
Honestly i could watch you review tires all day
this is a fantastic review, honest informative , and just cool , great idea testing smaller tyres, well done lads keep it up
How about comparing the Dunlop Sportmax GPR-300....maybe a little update to this video??
Shinko tires are the #1 tire I sell at my shop. Best bang for your buck for the everyday street rider!
Zig Ray I hate those tires on my RC-51
I bought a used 2016 Goldwing with the expectation of new tires before I took ownership. I thought I’d get the OEM tire but they put the Shinko touring tire on it. I didn’t go 50 miles before I put new tires on it. They would have killed me. I thought the shop installed the wrong Shinko as the sidewall couldn’t handle the weight.

Great review. I own a 1988 VTR250 and there has always just been but a few choices available. Now manufacturers have found a new rider category and the tire folks have come through.
Honda really needs to do something with the baby CBR to make it competitive with the Ninja and R3. Tires alone aren't enough to save it.
+GT6SuzukaTimeTrials Rumors say 2017 CBR250RR to start production in August. But still, rumors.
Oh I hope that happens. I love the CBR250R with Repsol paint. I just want more power and/or less weight without having to modify.
Death666wish they're available atleast on asian market and they look brilliant!
Need to update this video comparing the new Michelin Power RS and the Dunlop GPR-300.
what about the metzler m7rr?
Yep,.. Same tyre are supplied as stock,, superb grip.. But wear out quickly.. Looking for expert review.
+almass a khan damn true.. Super grippy but less life time.. R u from India? We get metzelar as stock tire for the 390.. Like I said nice grip but it'll last for around 10k to 12k kms
+naveen kum My RC came with the Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tires stock. I don't know why.
+Revvin the 417 the Indian 390 RCs and 390 dukes get the Metz stock.
i went to the dealer in my country (peru) for a 2015 rc 390, i saw one (older) with metzelers and the one i bought came with pirelli diablo rosso, that was kind of weird, are metzellers more expensive or something maybe they changed them before delivering the bike to me ...
Cant wait to try out the S20 EVO! thanks for the review!
COOL! Just bought the S-20 Evos and didnt really get any reviews.. .but this is GREAT!
I've got the Michelin Pilot Street radial and as you said, they're really good in the rain and last a good 15'000km (a bit under 10k miles), you can still use them on twisty roads if you don't put crazy angles which you shouldn't on open roads ;)

Good no bull dust comparison, thanks.
howcome you didn't test the Metzeler sportec M5s? They come stock with the bike here in India and I personally feel that they are great tyres however since I am new to bikes and this is my first bike, I haven't tested any other tyres in the category. I'd love to know what Ari has to say about them he's kinda like an idol for me :P
Ishaan Aggarwal m7's are best
M7's are best used on tracks. Waste of money if using for daily commute
I use Michelin pilot street as a daily driver and believe me when i say this, they are better than stock metzeler H rated!
Suck up my Michelin power rs is better
Did he crash? At the last few second you can see his suit is worn out.
+Kevin Chow Ari didn't crash during that test, but that is his "testing" suit and it has definitely kissed the pavement a few times!
+Motorcyclist Magazine thanks for the reply!
Motorcyclist Magazine what about metzeler m5 interact that are stock on indian rc390's
Good informative video. An overview (image) of all five at the end would help though.
Thanks.
Great tire test. That little bike looks so fun to blast around on.
what about the Metzeler spotec m5??
They haven't included that as the sponsor was not available
RIDER SOLO which one is the best according to you
raghav fazer Michelin any day
Never heard of that brand.. Maybe in india only..
@@pikapikacool you never heard about metzeler and michllin
That's strange.
This is the best video for KTM/Kawasaki tyre choice!
No Pirelli Supercorsa SC? or Dunlop Alpha-13? I swapped the stock Metzeler M5's on my RC390 with the Alpha-13's and the Alpha-13's were much better, the M5's feel like a reasonably sticky road tyre, where the Alpha-13's feel like a road legal track tire.

Rosso are street tires. Check out supercorsas for race track!!!!
Great upload guys. Am planning on buying RC soon. So this was useful for me
The RC's comes with metzeler tire in India by default. Any idea where it stands in comparison ??
running a 160/60-r17 on the back of my 2016 r3 and the stock 110/70-r17 on the front, Both are Michelin pilot power 2CT tires i had to ditch the 140 rear as they do not make this tire that small, Bike is day and night compared to the stock pilot streets and even the two sets of pilot street radials i had, Definitely worth it to get the good tires.
I personally recommend Bridgestone they are doing great
whats ur take on metzellers... as they are being standard with rc 390 in India??
Can you do an updated list for all categories of bikes? It’s hard to find real reviews like this.
The Michelin Pilot Streets are really let down by that rear tire. The problem gets even worse when it gets a little wet. The rear has AWFULL grip in the rain. It feels really good and planted untill you give it just a smidge of lean angle. At that point the rear end completely loses grip and you have to do a big correction to not lose it.
If they can find a way to fix the weird grip levels in the tire I think it would probably be the best "around town tire" for small cc sport/naked bikes.
Wet weather riding becomes really scary when 80% of the intersections in your town are roundabouts.
Which tyre give great performance?
PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO 2
MICHELIN PILOT SPORT RADIAL
IRC ROAD WINNER
need your opinion 🧐
Michelin Pilots is what I use cus of their life. Diablo Rosso 2 is the best I've used but they last 8k - 10k Kms only. I have a Yamaha R3
I've got the S20's on my wr250x and am thinking about getting an RC390 for the weekend/track and I'd not hesitate for a second to put the new S21's on that bad boy.
I have a question, the most premium tyres i can get at my country are: Corsa R93 (indonesian brand), Pirelli Diablo Rosso II or Sportdragon and Michelin Pilot Street. Should i be going by the Rosso II then?
Sebastián Núñez Peña Corsa R93 is definitely the best from that group.. have personally used it myself. you won't get too many mileage out of it though.. since it's a bit softer
Liongky Nugraha Thank you, man
Sebastián Núñez Peña corsa R93 or R46 good grip that i like it n my bike use that tyre..thx corsaaaa👍
All R-series are good even the R26
are the rosso ii 140 's different than the 150's or its the same deal all around?
What about the Metzeler's M5 Sportec tyres? The Indian bike comes equipped with them. I was wondering how they'll perform against the Bridgestones and the Pirellis.
They are probably better than all of these. MCN did a test with them.
***** Thanks a ton.
BTW the new M7 RR's are supposed to be way better than the M5's so you could've used them in this test. Just a suggestion :)
*****
Please oh please do a tire comparo with the best DOT tires on a 600 or liter bike.
Really curious about Evos on bigger bike and also the new RS10 in comparison to like q3's or supercorsa's.
Great Video, friend just bought a 390 and we were just discussing tire choices for the smaller bikes.
Thanks
Ari - I know Dunlops were not included in this review. Would you still stick with the S20 EVOs over the new Dunlop GPR 300 or ALPHA 13s?
Hi, great video, Thanks.
May I ask why the Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact have not been featured here. They are stock here in India and I am assuming other countries as well. They are pretty awesome soft compound tires as well. Would be nice to see how they match up to the US / UK spec tire.
Thanks & keep the videos coming...
alright, im getting a set f s20evo for my r3 to replace the numb feeling street pilot
More tire choices for my supermoto! 😍
Where did you end up buying the S20s from? I couldn't find any S20s in 150 rear! I ended up buying Pilot Power 2 CTs.
Ari, are you considering to test those tires on streets or rainy conditions? If you did already, what was your experiments? In Turkey, we always choosing to use most soft tires like Rosso II and Pilot Street and avoiding to use IRC's
It’s been years since this post! Anything new?
Thanks for this very useful video!
thanks for the information I have bridgestone tires only for my ktm rc390 they are awesome
Could someone please do a test run with Metzeler, Pirelli and MRF in the future? Just eager to know how will they perform as compared to the other mainstream brands out there...
i just ran out of my new tires and wanted to try something else . i used diablo rosso II . im gonna try bridgestone and see if its as good as my pirelli or should i switch back . thank u for ur helpful review btw😁🧡❤
When are you guys gonna do an updated tire comparison? Got the Rossi 3s, Alpha 13s, and a few others.
How about the metzeler M7?
kapula Sriharsha Yeah, I love M7rr
I wish you included some dunlops also. I got my ninja with gpr 300
Can you do a separate video comparison of the Bridgestone S20 Evo's to the Dunlop Alpha 13's?????!!!!
What tire pressures do you recommend when running the S20 Evo on the street? Still sporty riding, just not full on track riding.
Ari, how about a comparison between small bike track tires? I would love to hear your opinion of the Bridge-stones VS Alpha 13's Vs Pirelli Super Corsas. Also, why doesn't bridge stone have the r10 in small bike sizes in the states?
I happen to know 160s will fit the rear wheel but can anyone say whether it will be safe. Advantages or disadvantages?
+Luiz Diaz It wouldn't be unsafe. It would sort of be a waste though. You wouldn't be able to use all of the tire. Plus, it would make handling a bit different in the turns. All I can think of advantage wise is that it may be a bit more stable at higher straight line speeds.
Heavier
where are Metzellers..???
+DeceptionInDisguise In the trash! No, I'm kidding. I am curious too.
Man In Disguise never ever mention that brand here. the sponsor will get upset.
Never heard of that brand.. Maybe in india only..
I just saw the video! and I'm surprise that IRC RoadWinner price there was over 200$, here in Indonesia (its manufactured here I believe) only cost 80$-90$ per sets, and yep all 250cc bikes comes with that tires!
WicakSOUNDno haha, jadinya overpriced
faisal ramadhan iya bro, di US trnyata IRC roadwinner seharga battlax wkwkwk
seharga battlax tp rasanya jauh :v
Guess I will not be changing my roadwinner
Itu radial, di Indonesia banyaknya yang bias
Nice clip as all from MC Garage :-).
As bridgestone now have new model S21 that is supposed to be S20 replacement. Could you do short comparison of these two?
So does a rounder profile allow more grip at leans? Or is a flatter profile better?
The ktm 390's comes stock with Metzeler types in my country which are pretty awesome.
So witch tires u recommend for everyday driving all wheaters ? I am 230pounds , with a 300cc 2016 ninja and i like to take turns normal fast
I use Kenda Challenger tire's on my bike. They were one of the only tire's I could find for my bike that weren't ridiculously expensive. I paid $40 a tire and it's extremely solid for commuting.
Dan Silva Tyres really are to wrong place to save money on a motorcycle.
Kenda tyres are the reason why I had slipped out my front end two or three times and messed up my bike. I will never use them again.
Once in a right hand corner at 100kmh. Luckily I tumbled instead of sliding. Road rash still occurred.
They were actually one of the few tires I could find for my rim sizes. I have had 0 problem's with them, and I've taken them out when it was 55+ degrees, wet, and taken sharp corners faster than needed. They grip really well and will not hesitate to stop the bike quickly. I really don't understand the hate.
Schleberger I never said I was cutting any corners. They were out of only a few tires to choose from, and the rest were $200 a tire, I'm not putting on tires that are worth as much as my bike.
Could you please review Michelin Pilot Power 3 and Metzeller M7RR?
Great video! But I have one question: what rear tire size would you recommend for 2015 duke 390? Stay with stock 150 or go down to 140?
What about an updated review? Since now there are new competitors such as dunlop alpha 13 and Michelin power rs
Thanks for this. Very handy. Ever since michelin discontinued their single compound pilotpower road sport I've been curious to find out what else suits. Have tried the s20s and found them good, but not as good as the michelin road sports i used to have.
What about braking performance, on road sudden emergency breaking is a big factor between stopping or falling
The IRC RX-01 road winner compound type are soft or medium-soft..?? my bike yamaha R25 comming with this kind of tyre but i think In my country is medium-soft. Is it safe for race.?? Thx for response
Please tell us you'll be doing a medium and large sport bike tire comparison tooooo!!
why didnt you try the metzeler's ? they are worth a shot, they come stock on ktm 390 in my country.
How about this years Small Sportblike Tire Comparison?
Awesome review. Thank you!!
great video, i couldnt say enough about how important tires are on any bike especially these little sportbikes that people often start out on. more grip and control is the kind of confidence a new rider needs out of their tires. i started out on a 2008 ninja 250r with some sort of cheap stock shit tire kawasaki chose and i just thought that kind of tire performance was normal until i upgraded to a more expensive michelin brand
Good 1, was really helpful :)
As I see in the video, isn't the Bridgestone S20 Evo using 140 rear?
What's the tire pressue you're using on track using 150 rear and 110 front.
Bridgestone and Pirelli FTW.
I am looking to get new set of shoes for my R3, your review has really helped. You didn't comment much about Pirelli 140 rear. We get here 110/70 and 140/70 here in India, but a H rated one. Would really like to know how would it fair against the M7rr 110/70 and 150/60? Would be kind of you if you can help make a decision here.
I am looking for the best combo on a 250 sm for grip not milage. I would like to run a 130 110 combo on 17s and I can't find alot of choices. What's your top pic? any other input would be appreciated.
which one is very suitable for cornering
Will Bridgestone BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S21 be a good option ? Plz reply
Thank u for the reply !
Krishnaraj Krishnabhavan the S21 is the replacement for the S20s tested here they're going to be as good or better
Krishnaraj Krishnabhavan should be even better than the s20's that won this shootout
Jessa Phillips S-20's wear out faaaast
I'm looking for tyres in this size range for my WR250X motard. Should be the same requirements. I wonder how the Conti Attack SM fits in with this hierarchy?
I have an RC390 with the stock metzeler tyre. what tyre pressure do you recomend me for the track? cold o hot? thank you
Is the pirelli diablo rosso ii 140 grippier than the 150?
According To Your Opinion between Pirelli Rosso 2 And Michelin Pilot Street.Wich Tyres Is Best For The Street Riding And Daily Commuting?
Hey, what's the stock tire set u get on the RC 390? Am from India & we get metzelar as stock tire set for both RC & Duke 390..
what abt the stock metzeler tyres on rc n duke 390???? i heard they r the best don't change them.... is the Bridgestone better than metzeler???
Are the bike's shocks stock? because I can see that hydraulic-valve-thingy (how is that thing called, anyway?) under the bike's tail.
I got a pair of Rosso IIs for my Duke, they're expensive, wear fast,and I just don't like how they behave.
They got a decent grip, but the rear tends to slide and lose traction when leaning and giving gas going out of corners, and I'm talking about street speeds, I don't do track.
My mechanic said, before installing and after inspecting them, that they're different than last year's model - they're less round and look\feel different. The tires' dealer backed him up by saying that Pirelli have changed the Rosso IIs compound, so they're pretty much different tires.. (I got my bike with half-worn Rosso IIs liked them back then)
Thanks for the review guys, Bridgestone is going to be my next pick.
+Ari Henning JRI is only a small drive from me, and it's great to see the testing they have been doing in the sport bike community lately. I've been riding for awhile, and have a wide range of different bikes... Looking for something a bit toned down for the street, I could have fun with in the corners though, but still be decent enough for a work commute whenever I wanted to take it. Would you consider a RC390 or the duke? Or just spend a few more bucks and get a fz07? I've had many Aprilias, Ducatis, Triumphs, and everything in between...
