[terrier]

just changed my 15 (2500 mls) put another on cause frt is as new will put a pair on next time probably go pilot road 2 or roadsmarts have you guys tried these i found them both very good on previous bikes (not busas)

I do not know what the stock busa aspect ratio is on the rear tire but if it is 190/50, consider trying the 190/55. Larger contact patch on the side and you can feel a definite improvement in turn in at any speed. The 190/55 is ~10 cm higher and it will tend to correct your speedo.

You might want to do some research and see if that will fit your rim. Just an idea for ya. The busa already turns in pretty good. It makes enough difference that the 190/55 might be too much for some.

+1 just grabbed one today and i am hittin' it tomorrow for a trial run. i did go with the 190/55 instead of the 190/50, thanks!

i've ridden about 300 miles(street) on her and i get real good feedback. turn ins are quick due to the 55 i'm sure and the "warm up" feels faster and more stable than the 15. the tread alone looks much thicker than the 15 but i rode that stock 15 w/ 5k on it. bottom line, it's a nice tire for what i need.!
