I forgot Trip was talkin to Cutty, my bad on that same size motor as his Kawi comment.

Yeah that was with the shitty stock tires which are a harder compound, and for the first few thousand miles I was still a new rider.

These tires (the corsa IIIs), based on the fact that they're seeing mostly track use, are not going to last 4k miles ;)

Although maybe.... because if I rip the shit out of the edges with track days, and then ride a lot of street which takes care of the middle... I could really get the most possible out of them. Might be 4k.

The heat cycles will eat those tires up if you do that.

Now imagine how nice it will feel when you step up to a real tire, like say a Michelin Pilot Power? :whistle: :D

:lol: a corsa III pwnz a regular PP. 2CT is it's equal.

I'm contemplating powers for my next tire. Figure they should last the rest of the season at least. Just not sure if i want to go to a sport touring tire on that beast...

Hey drewp, what kinda mileage do you get out of powers on your RC?

front is pretty good, honestly- about 7k now, and its fine

rear maybe 4-6k depending on what and how i ride, but now that i am in TN i would be lucky to see 3-4k since i live in twisty heavin

now m3's were nice but were gone at 5 of easy riding, the pp will last longer
but the m3 was a sticky tire


the pilot race i just put on, holy shit omg i think i am in love, sick traction- thing is i can figure on only 1k out of it :lol:

I'll probably try powers then... and hope for a bit over 5K.
If not, well... I'll ride the SV with the Road 2's to see if i like them enough to put on mine.

you want what i think is the best combination, a pp front and a road 2 rear

I'm a little worried about my over active right wrist overpowering the traction of the road though...
And wondering if the road will stick enough to work on the track.

Oh yeah, and you still haven't answered my question about what cruise you have. :tt:
