I knew what I had on the Legend 'cos I paid for 'em! ...but the tyres on the Sachs came with the bike so they are ...  ...black and round(ish)
They are the original tyres from initial registration on 26/06/03 ('happy birthday' my bike  ) and they still have LOADS of tread ALL the way round ...so, they must be pretty good, eh? |

CB 1300 is fettled with Metz sportecs, great grip but wearing out fast.
Z1000 - pilot roads, good grip take a bit off getting used to. |

Probably go for Pirelli Diablos next change as I have yet to read a bad word said about them |
crap in the wet
there u go
1 bad word |
Never heard anyone say that before... The diablos were great in the rain on the Blackbird.... just they didn't last very well 3000 miles tops 
Also found the diablo corsa's greta in the wet on the blade, and the BT015 on this blade too... But then again I like wet riding |

had diablo's on the R6, thought they were fine in the sun and dry but thought they weren't nearly as good as the Bridgestones I had in the wet and they took longer to warm up
these were diablo corsas though

Blackbird weighs about the same as three R6's maybe that's the answer just wheeling the 'bird outta the garage got the tyres warm whatever the weather! |

Agree with u to a certain extent. Having said that, the profile of the Pirelli Diablos compared to the stock Bridgestone 014s vastly improved the handling on my bike. Will never put Bridgestones on it again.

Diablo Corsa's on the 996, had plain Diablo on the rear before that lasted 4,000miles. Never had more than 2,000miles from a rear before !
Z3's on the Blandit
Cheng Shin on the Chinese Takeaway
