leaning back and forth through a hard fast chicane on the 14 with those weapons mounted to the wheels........nevermind no need to explain you'll be addicted soon enough. Especially after coming off those "pirelli tires"!

In all fairness, for long (thousands of miles) rides and multiple day trips I would use the rear strada again.
I am confident the strada could deliver over 5000 miles of very high speed highway miles, even with my ham fisted style.
it gave me about 2000 miles before the nail got it... then i didn't trust it for top speed runs so I destroyed it.
I am sure it would deliver easilly double the mileage the stock tires ever would have at continuos speeds averageing 150 mph.
Hell the bt 014 was destroyed after 1 trip at speeds, sustaining 2 hour ride averaging 130, with many visits to the speed limiter. The center was begining to delaminate and chunk out. Tire pressure was 39 psi too.
we'll see how the pilot sport wears at speed!
