Pirelli have good logos for colouring in I think that looks ace, particularily with your bike having that retro tint. But then I would say that, I do it to my tyres too.

Oh yeah, I've got one of those cashback vouchers but it has to be redeemed by 7th June, anyone want it? I've got about 20000 miles of tyres in the shed already

cashback?.

I payed £118 for a new rear 180 Rosso on my 600 from those nice chaps at B&C. it seems(in the 20 miles I have done since. So some puff lines left to scrub yet) a nice quick warming tyre and more confidence inspiring that the original Diablo I had replaced.

Yeah, they were doing a promo, buy a pair and get £25 back. Or £30 I think from the scottish show, but I lost that voucher. Still makes the tyres veeeery expensive though.

What I like the sound of is the longevity... The pirelli guy at the scottish show reckoned that they'll match or outlast the old standard Diablo, that's pretty excellent- they just won the Bike (or maybe Ride) magazine tyre test against some tyres that you'd be lucky to get 3000 miles out of too.

But still, I'd probably buy a pair of Sportec M3s for £160 instead
