I prefer Conti's myself... great mileage, traction, and affordable...

will be putting a set of sport attacks on the 14 next summer.

Regardless of what you choose, please give us a call when you're ready. We try to stay competitive on pricing, and generally install them while you wait. We keep BT002s, Corsa IIIs, Qualifiers, Pilots (and 2CTs), Metzelers, and Avons on hand. If you need something a little different that we don't happen to have, we can generally get them in 2-4 working days.

When I searched (BRIDGESTONE Battlax BT014) in town and online, Jim @ TFOG had the best deal installed. +1 for TFOG!

I used to run the sport attacks on my tl 1000s. After getting only 4200 miles out of them I switched to michelin pilot road 2's. So far they are better in the canyons than the sport attack. They're supposed to last longer. They are a duel compound touring tire.... The rear tire is about 20 dollars more than the sport attack. The performance of the tire is unbelievable.... It treats the TWIN well!!!! Just my 2 cents:)

My R1 came stock with Pilot powers so I've used them exclussively ever since - I really like the 2CTs - they will last slightly longer in the middle tread then the regular CTs (that along isn't really worth the extra expense), however I swear they stick better in the corners.

From what I understand, the side rubber is the same as the regular PPs but they really do feel better.

Anyhow, depending on the bike - you'll get about 3500 miles on a litre bike (rear) and about 5000 on a 600cc

Good luck!

Just bought a new rear Pirelli Diablo Corsa III from Jim and Holly @ TFOG, and they really do have the best price in town (spent 30 min calling various dealers, etc). Plus, you get that intrinsic fantastic feeling of helping out a small, Colorado business!

I loved my pilot powers, and I love my 2ct's even more. Both great tires! I haven't tried any other brands on my bike.

how can i make runescape money (http://www.runescape-shop.com/runescape-gold/runescape-gold.php) fast??

no clue.

But I like Pilot Powers as well as Pirelli Diablos. I have done track days on both and they stick just fine. Currently have the Diablos mounted and with plenty of real world ability (wet conditions and heat up fast).

Next up will be the Contis just try try something different.

i like my "pirelli diablo stradas". awesome long mileage tread and sticky enough to feel confident.
i used to run continentals as well.
they are just as good for the long haul and stickiness.
