Default z6 metzelers now scrubbed in

and WOW

what a difference-
was a lovely sunny day yesterday so I went out and scrubbed them in.

crikey- compared to the Z4's its like wearing trainers after ice skates!!!

I am well chuffed with the feel and the way it makes the bike ride and cornering and...and...and..

I do fancy a set, but my bike has a brand new spanking set of macadam 100's on it when i bought it and theyve only done 200 miles.

o could do one massive burnout i suppose

Same boat, done about 200 miles on my first set of Z6s, switched from 020s. Certainly not as big a difference as you're getting, maybe the Bridgestones were half-decent compared to your old Z4s, but definitely agree. Cornering's fantastic, can get right over to the edge and still feel nice and stable. Highly recommended!

020s are pretty good tyres so you're probably finding the z6s are more suited to you or the 020s were worn out.

Anyway, talking of new tyres, I just got a new viper rear and am thoroughly enjoying the brief spells of nice weather.

While I'm very hapy with the Z6s on the bandit and Diablo Stradas on the ZX6(The same tyre near as damnit), I would point out I have never put on a set of tyres that didn't feel a million times better than the old ones

I remember replacing the worn 010 front on the bandit with an 020 and thinking "God this is so soooo much better" so unless the 020 is technically sportier than the 010 and no one's told me, replacing worn with fresh rubber will always feel brilliant. Not that I'm complaining, it's nice to spend cash on your bike and feel a dramatic improvement in it
