Talking Re: Pirelli Angel GT fitted

Replaced BT016's on the gixxer with a pair of Angel GT's.

Did 2000 miles on the bridgestones and never felt happy on the front, going round roundabouts always felt like i hit a step and then the bike would fall over, went really light. Not a nice feeling. Thought i just had to get used to a different bike with a more 'active' front end.

Nope, just had to replace with a pair of Angel GT's.

Bike feels so much more stable and predictable, i just took it for a wee scrubbing in run and am nearly all the way to the edge on the front. These tyres give me such a feeling of confidence. I thought the same when i had them on the SV and now have transformed the Gixxer.

Wish i had fitted them when i got the bike.
