Re: metzeler??
Super Corsa
I am sorry, but far too old and sane to risk any part of me with Metzlers. Tyres are what keep me from the deck, I buy the best I can afford.

Put a set of Metzaler |||||||||||Sporttec |M5's on the 675 as the rest of the owners rave about them.
If you look the back wheels of the road ,Nuff said

But the new ones are fantastic Z6's fantastic all round tyre, wet, cold, track days etc etc. Z8's are newer and probably a bit better.

Re: metzeler??
I had Z6s on my curvy - never had a problem with them. If you don't like the brand I guess you'll perhaps subconsciously think they're not great when you ride on them but in reality most of the main brands will be fine. Most of us are unlikely to be able to tell the difference in reality so it's down to personal preference.
My 250 (way back in the mists of time) came with Avons that were old and hard and dreadful in the wet. I replaced them with Metzler ME55s and the bike was transformed. Sure the bike would have been better with any new tyres but...

Re: metzeler??
the old ME55's were king of the hill at one time a long time ago if i'm thinking the same tyre, looked like a diamond pattern.. i'm talking the mid 80's. yokohama now there was a scary tyre.
