Default Just been quoted £215.73 for Z6's...

By Sidcup Motorcycle Tyres in Alma Road.

He said that he has either Z6's or Stradas (which are identical apparently) and that £215.73 was VAT Inclusive.

Sound OK or a bit top heavy?

I thought it sounded top heavy myself but then again what do I know??....Nothing!

Need some new tyres and everyone keeps banging on about Z6's so thought I would go for them.....

Any views?

Regards
Neil
