I couldn't find a Corsa in a 130/70ZR16 fitment, so made do with the standard Diablos. Heard good things about them from fellow Blade owners, plus a handy review on https://www.honda-fireblades.co.uk/product_reviews_3.html

I also can't be bothered to change a set of tyres every 1500 miles, so hoping the Diablos would be a good compromise between grip/durability/all round greatness.

Maybe if I get round to buying some Dymags my choice in tyres would change Wink

If supercorsars are anything like rennsports then you do want them. Twisted Evil

Supercorsas are too sticky for the road; They don't ever warm up.

Corsas are OK in the summer, I had some on my Daytona. They weren't that good in the wet though.

The Diablos I have heard are just as good as the corsas on the road, only better in the wet. Plus they are cheaper!

It might be that the corsas are good for the occasional trackday, whereas the Diablos might 'go off' under track conditions. Either way, for pure road use the Diablo is the better bet afaik.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

In that time i think you could get to Essex, clean my bike back to original condition and return home happy in time for the big unveiling.

Go'wan, you know you want to! Thumbs Up

Er, might take a bit longer Groove - lend me your bike a few months, a couple of grand and I'll have it sorted for you by the end of the summer Wink

Thus beginneth the final chapter:

Not tempted by a more substantial project craig?

Perhaps a full concourse rebuild on something classic, or perhaps a streetfighter/one off bike of your own?

Can't wait to get some road grime on it (not salt though - no way!) - gives me an excuse to clean the thing.

I've done the classic bike thing Reuben (well, one atleast). Not an old British twin, but instead of the 125 stroker route, I spent my 17th and 18th years restoring and rebuilding this little bike:

As a second bike (which I'm thinking of getting soon), thinking of getting a crosser and supermoto'ing it up for the trip to work.
