Rennsport now superseeded but are still better than most of us mere mortals from a sportsbike perspective.
I have know idea what they're like on a barge but I think Avons are shite on sportsbikes. :-0)

So I am not recommended to mount the Rennsport for road use. I have read that have a duration of only 5,000 km by road and normal for me is very little. I plan to reassemble the Michelin then!

But you who used tyres in the street?

Thank you for your answers! smilie_koc

BT020 has now been replaced by BT021, so if you find 020 they should be cheaper, but make sure they are Blackbird specific, unlike the 021 which are not Blackbird specific.

What do you recommend ? If as you say I cannot get BT020's & the 021's are not BB specific.

021's do not need to be Bird specific - Yeh, good tyre, I found they dont spin up as much as 020's.

Got some Roadsmarts fitted and they are great, no problems in the wet and speeded up the handling no end.

Dumlop D209 Qualifier RR. Absolutely fantastic on the 'bird. Not the economy option I grant you, but they transform the bike from barge to sweet turning sportsbike (Well, almost....)

Mileage from the rear looks like it's going to hit the 3k mark.
