I thought that because I had a GSXR I had to put sporty tyres on it. I had Corsa III's and then I fitted Z6's for the Ecosse trip. TBH Pete I can't tell the difference between the two when its dry and warm, but my goodness can I tell the difference when its wet and cold. Z6's are so much more confidence inspiring. But this might be down to my head and just rider preference.
I'd have thought with the miles that you and Lissa do you go through tyres pretty quickly so I would have thought the extra milleage you'll gain from the sport touring tyres would be a benefit no ? Also with going through them quickly if you dont like how the Duke feels you'll be able to change to something else in a reasonable amount of time.
