Correctamundo!

Diablo Strada about equal with Z6.
Diablo not quite as sticky but longer wearing than M1 (don't know how they go against the M3.
Diablo Corsa and super corsa virtually cut slicks.

Out of interest how much were you quoted for your BT014's reason I ask is i've been quoted £150 ( not fitted ) from Hunters at Westgate road Newcastle. The Sport Attacks which I was interested in also was matginally cheaper at £146.

Bridgestones are looking very favourable at the minute.

150 sounds good. i paid 165 deliverd, plus with the fact they're on back order everywhere i was more than happy.

As an update to this, I recently fitted Diablo Corsa's to the 'Blade... What a difference, and I thought the 014's were good.

Moore feedback and even more confidence inspiring.... I'm a changed man.

Only ever had 014s on me sv and never had any complaints. I had mez3 on the cbr 400 rr and they gave poo grip in the wet, rear used to spin up all the time, but with the 014s on the sv i feel really confident they are where they should be on the road.

If it aint broke dont fix it.

014s ova anything

Choices choices choices after going round and round and reading these posts over and over,i have finally ordered a pair of diablos, just over £200 quid fitted, metzler z6 was about the same price with the bridgestones just a tad cheaper.

Be interesting to see if they make any difference as i have been riding round on metzeler m4s, did not realise that they were not up to much until i found this forum, in fact most people absolutely slate them so i will soon see if they make me more confident on the bike.

I have to agree I really dislike the 014 when its cold, or cold and damp. They dont give much feedback and have really knocked my confidence. However I do also know that alot of people through personal experience rater the 014 very highly I just think for me that they arent what I'm looking for in a tyre.

I had a pair of Pilot Power 2CT's fitted to the GSXR today. I shall let you know how I get on.
