    Had to replace corsas that came on my Thruxton went on line low and behold Road 6s called the dealer he said he could get them so I bit. Scrub them in yesterday no problem. But I’m in TX Hill country after ice storm and they put sand and small gravel on the hills and curves so I really don’t know how good they are yet but if their anything like the 4s I have been running on my FJR I think the extra $ will be worth it

    Glad you are liking them. One thing I noticed with the R5s was that they were taller than the Pirelli’s that came with mine. For the shorter folk out there, it can be enough to make a difference. really happy with mine so far.

    Well I’ve bitten the bullet and ordered a pair of these to replace the original Super Corsas on my Speed Triple RS. Having them fitted in April when I get back from my holidays…

    I try my best not to ride in the rain but living in the UK it’s pretty unavoidable. The super corsas were superb but have been considering the Michelins for a while, when I said to my mechanic I needed some new tyres and would let him know what I wanted, he immediately said Road 5’s. And I trust him..as an ex racer …
