Diablo Supercorsas, by Pirelli. Wore out one rear tire, replacement cost

about $250. Front tire still good, replacement about $115 less.

I don't see what advantage it is to put a bald racing tire on a street bike to go putting around the country. Unless this is an 'exceptional' street Duck that isn't acquainted with speeds less than 90 mph.

Wow. Racing tires. You must do some heavy duty riding on that thing. What model is it?



The red one.

You don't really think I would post correct info in this right-wing
pigpen about a vehicle I own, do you?

The tires are indeed Pirellis, though. The bike is red and black.

I wouldn't want racing tires unless I was racing. The thing must be a bitch to ride in wet weather.

As a matter of fact, I believe these are the standard tires on certain
Duc superbikes, which are, indeed, used on the street.

But they're not the tires on my bike. As I previously stated, this is
rec.boats, and I don't post vehicle details in this right-wing pigpen.

My bike, however, does have Pirelli tires.

Just like my old honda 50 sport? It had yokahama's on it.

BTW Harry, why would you of all people want to hang around a 'right-wing pigpen?"
