Well an update, now done about 4500miles on these tyres.

The squirming I mentioned before was cured by adjusting the rear preload and having new oil in the front forks, or at least, I don't notice it anymore !!

Done lots of wet and cold riding (it is Scotland !!!) and the tyres really have been good.

Only just started to notice a little wear on the rear tyre, so the claim they'll last 6,7, 8k miles seems to be true, for me at least.

I can't really compare them to other tyres as the bike came with these fitted.
My Bandit was on Angels and it didn't feel as secure on the road, but then, it was a heavier bike and certainly didn't turn in as fast as the SVs does.
