New tyres fitted and went out for a 60 odd miles loop, they really have transformed the handling
Will give it an oil and filter change then all ready for Holland They still look brand new almost, not even a hint of squaring off even after pretty much 1200 miles of motorways. Highly recommend them !
I have been using them on the Thundercat for 3 years now. The Supersports tyres following a tip from Pete247 who had them fitted to a GSXR750. I love them, although my first rear lasted less than 3000 miles. Champs and TT07 have used them too (ZX6R and GSXR1000k7).
Am supprised to hear you only had 3000 miles out of the rear Radar, I am normally pretty hard on tyres and had better results from the Maxxis than I did from Michelin and Bridgestone on mileage and grip in wet/dry conditions.
I have them fitted on my Streetfighter and did a wet trackday on them, have around 1000 miles done and loads of tread left. We do all ride different tho so a tyre that works well for one may not for another. (3000 miles from a rear for me is good tho btw lol – Michelin Pilot Power 2CTs only lasted 1800ish miles on my Gixer to the 2500+ miles I had from the Maxxis)

I went through the 2nd rear Maxxis in 3000 miles too. The first front I fitted is still going strong, now matched with its’ third partner. About 6300 miles on that front so far
Well after much enjoyment and 2 trips to Europe the frumpy flyer (as Radar liked to call it) and myself have parted ways.
It now has a new home in Dublin, Sean the new owner picked it up today after flying over and should now be on the ferry back over to Ireland.
Bit sad to see it go as it has been a great bike!
Dad to see the flyer has gone, but that was a cracking bike for you…Assen, Pyrennes etc.
Good luck in Ireland to the Frumpy Flyer!

Was ‘Dad’ supposed to be ‘Glad’ or ‘Sad’? I would correct it for you instead of making it a point but I cant work out which context your in!
