Costing £295 for the pair I think. Could have got them around £250 buying myself, but the fitters "discount" £20 if bought through them and I knew they were hard to come by at the moment so just told them to order them in.
First time I've taken in loose wheels, £20 discount for that too.

Meh, costly but for the fun factor worth it imho.Scubaregs wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 7:10 pm Costing £295 for the pair I think.

Yep, at under 4,000 miles a rear it's not cheap. Lot of power going through that tire though.

Not much torque though.
Bike tyres are a bit of a rip-off, though, aren't they? There is hardly anything of them, they last 5 minutes and cost as much as car tyres
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Fair bit of torque too, the S1000r engine is a detuned S1000rr to give more low down grunt, in fact I believe it is quicker than the rr up till around 130.
