Any idea on warm up time til they are real sticky,given frictional issues it should be quick .

That PP makes the front end extremely light. Like it is not there any more

Nice trick. :laugh:

For the next trick, I'll strap the bicycle to the motorcycle, so I have a way to get home when the MC goes for service. :rolleyes:

And that arrangement makes for great mass centralization and front to rear balance. Dutchy, you rock!

Have you ridden on the Pilot powers yet? I put PP 2CT's (even though the Pilot Pures were the Michilen recommendation due to the weight of the bike) on the scooter and think they are an awesome tyre, much better than the sport max tyres from the factory.

Do you have a 1000R or two? If so what do you run on them?

I did one short run a few weeks ago, just a shake down on the new rotors/pads/bearings.

It was still cold and didnot want to push things.

since then, snow/cold has returned.

I did like the feel up front, but this the 1st ride since the winter stop and the prior tire mucho worn, that would not be a fair comparison.

But even by placing my hands on the 2 different tires, you can feel that the PP is more sticky...
