Re: Best tyres?
Since some have made comments, I've got the Z8's on my SV and the biggest impression is that the ride is so smoooooth compared to other tyres I've had (020, Z6 etc), it really is very noticeable. Coarse grainy road surfaces are smoothed out remarkably, makes it very comfy for longer trips.
Don't know how well they'll last compared to Z6, haven't done that many miles on them yet, but IMO a nicer tyre all round than the Z6, which wasn't bad anyway. Not trying to sell the Z8 over any other tyre, just an observation.

Re: Best tyres?
The previous owner fitted Michelin pilot power 2ct on my bike before I bought them. 7k on they barely look worn and offer a lot of confidence in all weathers. I am very happy with them.
If your on a bit of a budget I have used continental conti-motion on a much more powerful bike and they also performed very well so would imagine they would also be very good on the sv |

Re: Best tyres?
They have a very rounded profile.
Nice on my heavy to steer RSV . Going front the Corsa 3 to theses its very notice how much less effort is need to turn in . So if your happy with that go for it. The motions was good for the sv . The attack is quite stiff so maybe lower the pressure 2psi .
