Jezza

I'm new here and new to SVs (just bought a 2001 S three weeks ago).

Anyways, it had a brand new front and near new BT020 on the rear. For the first few rides i was going very, very slow (rusty after 4 bikeless months, new bike, new tyres).

Due to a lack of talent i still ride slowly, but it seems i'm riding badly enough to unstick the front over mid-corner 'ripples' in the road surface. I'm not a brave man so this has knocked my confidence a bit. I only did it a couple of times. I've been moving around on the bike more to keep it more upright now but really i think it'll be best to invest in some stickier rubber.

Also, after a ride through some fast sweepers (*cough*160+*cough*) the rear looks like it's overheated towards the edge a bit. Shiny. And it felt a bit greasy through some following slower corners.

Sorry, i don't know how to keep my problems/stories short.

Now, will Z6s be sticky enough? I'd like something i can get good mileage out of to save me money. But i feel that if i f*ck up and unexpectedly need more lean angle through a corner (front BT020 is scuffed on the sidewalls a little bit...) it'll end up costing me a lot more in repairs than i would have paid for expensive tyres.

Will the Z6s have a rounder profile offering more rubber at more extreme lean angles?

I owned a CBR600F4i and always had Sportec M1s on it. Absolutely loved them for road and track so that's what i'd get if you guys reckon the Z6s won't quite deliver what i want/need.

Sorry bout the babbling.
