I had them on my Sprint ST - no complaints.

Depends what you want from a tyre really.

Cheers for the info,

they need to last at least until feb/march
decent enough to be grippy in the wet and be ok on the motorway.

I'm running a pair on my Thundercat - I like 'em (around 1,500 miles into them so far). They suit the bike better than the BT014s I had on there before. Online reviews I found were all positive - I bought them half price from Busters as they have been superseded by the Angel ST.

Diablo Stradas were excellent on my VFR. Better in the wet than my current Road Attack 2's. I'd have them again no problem, especially if cheap!
Haven't tried the Maxxis sorry.

Love Diablo Stradas Thumbs Up

I have them on my TDM, not as confidence inspiring as the BT016's on the S4 but have never let go cornering in the dry. They are fine in the wet too, excellent grip when cold. Plus they last ages. Easily 6k on a rear. I'm sure I have had 7 or 8 before.

I had them and thought they were very good. Even did a trackday on them without any issues at all.

No complaints, had them on both my R6 and 600RR and gave pretty good confidence in any condition.

Lasted well too, loads of tread from new.

Another vote of confidence from me. Had them on a few sports bikes and there was no noticeable difference in grip levels to a BT014 and they lasted three times longer. Good in the wet too.
