Dragon Supercorsas?

Any good on a ZX-9R? I can't get my hands on the usual 207RRs at the
moment and someone's offered me some very lightly used ex-race Pirellis
cheap.

 

I've got 'em on my 9R never had any problems

Champ says...

Thanks chaps, looks like they're going on then.

 

No idea.

But I'd question using right now on two points:

1. They're ex-race so may have been through one very high heat cycle too
many and may have lost a bit of grip; and
2. It's getting cold out there. New race compound tyres will prolly grip
less than road compound stuff let alone used ones cos they wont get into
their proper heat/grip range type thingy

My (rather simplistic) recommendation: buy 'em if they're cheap, but don't
fit 'em til April and use some Macadams or D205s over winter...

Shame it's a pink and purple homstrosity really.

 

Why not run AV45/46ST's (which run good from cold) then get them taken
off in the spring? Put them back on next winter..

They aren't that bad, not totally shagged. I am getting them from a
fairly close friend who used them for practice sessions. he has a few
sets he sells to mates. He says they've done about 10 laps, which I can
believe.

I realise this.

Macadams, or 205s? Are you having a fucking laugh, you ****? I want
tyres that grip in the wet, not last all fucking year. I know the
Pirellis won't be any good in the wet, so I'm fitting a new D207 to the
rear for winter as I already have a nearly new D207 on the front, then
putting the Pirellis on next spring when these two are shagged.

I wouldn't dream of putting Macadams on anyone's bike, not even Des'.
<shudder>

You really shouldn't say things like that when I have the complete
bodywork from your SZR sitting in my garden waiting to be painted.

 

Or just use the Golf

 

Ginge says...

Not a bad idea, but I already have a decent enough front tyre that will
see winter out. I'll lob a matching rear on and do the Pirelli thing in
spring

 

And, I know where you live..... DFWAG.



Shall we call it quits?

 

Lozzo emerged from their own little world to say

Go on, spray it beige

 

Good plan.

I need to sort the SZR top gasket this weekend so I can let the ZRX
snooze.

Mmmm winter bike.

 

Beige is the new black.

 

Ginge says...

Nah, not til blood has been spilt

 

dwb says...

Don't be such a ****.

 

Sounds fair, I suspect we'd take seven shades of shit out of each other,
not a good plan.... So, who, or what, are we sacrificing?

 

I don't know if you've seen FWR lately, but they've got some old stock
they're "throwing away".

I'm tempted to go down there and get a set of something cheap for the
coming months.

Anything on there I *shouldn't* buy? A lot of the links don't have
pictures, see.

 

Ginge says...

A virgin, but I'll leave it up to you to find one. I don't know any
minging ginger burds.

 

Don't forget the superglue.
