Honda SP1. Pleasantly surprising quick warm up time on these tyres, excellent dry grip and very good in the wet too. These tyres originally came on another bike I own and I was stunned by the level of feedback they provided. They had to go onto the twin. 90mph through a bend over rough surface? They wont budge off the line, but you do feel the surface change through the bars. Its a wonderful feeling when you went through the same section last week and the bike was skittering about. Easily the longest lifespan when compared to the cheaper dunlops, they outlast the bridgestones, I wont comment on Michelins as I just don't get on with them. Tyre pressures are important. Forget about 36/42.. The lovely stiff carcass means you run these babies at 33/33. An excellent tyre, that really proves itself everytime the bike goes through Glen Helen lit up.
