Thumbs up maxxis update

These came today for another guy at work-



he's gonna be the fourth guy using them now, feedback from the others has been good to say the least-

first guy been riding bikes for over 25 years, bit of a looney- has them on his 04 ninja-totally loves them, says that at the start he was unsure as to how they were gonna compare with his usual brands(bridgestone, dunlop,pirelli)-now has complete confidence in them and says that the bike feels as planted to the road as ever-now done over 2000 miles, mixture of motorway commute and very spirited country road riding.

second has them fitted to his gsf600,riding for just over 2 years, binned his sv last november allways rode with bridgestones-only ever uses the bike on motorway for commuting-again really happy with them, he's done over 3500 miles all motorway in all weathers, no complaints-says he gets good feedback from them and he has no worries in the wet.

third-johnny spaz-past his test last december and bought a srad 600-he's only done a few hundred miles on them but so far he's had no issues-saying that he's had nothing to compare them with.

fourth -big chris is getting the above set for his bandit 1200, has been riding for about six years and does a mix of commute and loon, said before that he really goes through tyres so it will be good to get his feedback on these after a wee while.

I'm gonna keep this updated and see how these pan out, given the review they got from the superbike test rider in one mag,and the riding capability of your average joe, if they continue to be successful and popular maybe see more tyre manufacturers dropping there prices to a more reasonable cost.
