I just bought a set of 190x 120 pilots sports for 293.00. I would not buy race 3's you would not get any mileage out of the rear.

Pilot Sports, there is no economy in soft compound tires.

Pilot sports are the tire for me, time will tell what mileage we get but they stick like glue. The Hayabusa became a new bike with them mounted front and rear.

Where is the best (lowest price) to purchase the Pilot Sports?

 

[OB_blitzn]

Chaparral is selling TX15 sets for 200 bucks! including the race 3.

Talked to Michelin Thursday...they are coming out with a 200 rear in street compound and used with a race front that should be the ticket.....these are pilots ....

is it the tx25 200 or 190 they are pairing them up with?

CBX what are you useing now for tires?

I ran a fresh set of Pilot Race tires on a Honda F4 last week on the track, they stick well and slide more predictably than I had been led to believe. I didn't think the wear was that bad, either, although a Busa is pretty heavy, so I dunno.

I have 207GPs on the Busa now, I like them just fine, the Michelin has a steeper crown and will probably square off faster. Great on their sides, though.

cbx, did they say when they are going to come out with the 200 and how soft it is going to be compared to the tx25?

 

[OB_cbxchris]

The 200 will be in a street compound only...no race compounds period. The tire should be out shortly as I was told...what is shortly? your guess is as good as mine. Kawabuser I`m still running stock rubber...am going to change tires when I chrome wheels over winter...will use the 200 and a race pilot on front. Hows the pictures coming on the fender kit...still interested!
