Contiemotion.
Ok for your commute bike. They grip fine in the wet.the outer edge of my back tyres gone a bit pitted after Saturday's back road bimble .middle part fine.
Runs wide if you push your front ,rather that suddenly give up.

Main use will be fair weather and fairly spirited?...

Or pay an extra £15 for Pirelli Diablos?

Found Diablos on oponeo.co.uk for £145 delivered, only a fiver more than the Contis or Qualifiers so went for them. Made sure they were the ZR speed rating. Did my first ever trackday on Diablos and loved them on my CBR600RR, hopefully they work as well on the SV

They will need a suspension setup better than the stock Sv has to use them to there best.;)

Yeah. I'm in the second group buy for the debrix emulators and will couple them with 0.85 springs at the same time. Rear shock will be swapped out for a kwak one too at a later stage. Concentrating on getting back on the road right now then will start modding once funds have recovered. I have a good base with full system, BMC filter and jetted carbs that I've had in storage for 6 years!

What about Michelin Pilot Road 3? Are they any good you think? They were highly rated in Bike magazine. I'm looking for a good grippy tire, not because I'm a fast rider but looking for the grippiest stuff to compensate for our ****e roads here in Malta. There's no grip due to low amount of grit in the composite they cover our roads with. Shiny scary stuff our roads are.

Have a look at what the fast guys have on there bikes next time your at a meet.
There is such a big choice.
One bloke at our local bike hear shop.has Maxxis on his R6 and rates them .
Wriggle didn't like them on her Sv ,so who's right ?
