Bridgestone Exedra Max

[HansO]

I'm running the michelin commander on the front , I'm finding that through the twisties and speeds not exceeding 130 kph ,for me it's a terrific ,but I'm finding that speeds in excess of 130kph I'd prefer an Avon or a Metz on the front

Peter are you finding it gets a vibration up when you exceed 130 in a straight line ..like it is out of balance as that is what I get but there last Wednesday I was coming out of a couple of the faster sweepers at 160kph slightly cranked over with no vibration or shake then as I started to coming upright it would shake a little

Hanso I would check the rear of your bike..
Toyota Previa tyres are not rated for that kind of speed

I would ignore it 'cept it was to funny I have had her up over 200 kmh with same rear about 15,000km ago and my rear Tyre is wider than the Toyota Previa could handle so ........... to you too .... I'll be watching you

 

[Bubz]

With that tyre on ya bike you'll be watching the back of me

 

[HansO]

maybe..... maybe not ......... but I Could also be watching you slide or step out while am still hooking up .... we will never know as I don't race on the road, I like to do my own thing when the mood strikes me... sad part of growing up a bit

May I remind you that I have said on quite a few occasions lately that my next rear will be a Brigdestone E/Max just waiting on Richard to get back to me about a new front I want to try as the Avon Cobra wasn't bad but lacked a bit of feel and feed back when pushing it in the twisty stuff.
We'll see if the bridgy is as good as as it is made out to be!!! ...... the Michelin Comander was supposed to the ducksgutz but while it gave good feed back while cranked over it wasn't that crash hot in a straight line at above legal speeds and has worn out in under 5,000km... if the bridgey is not up to what it is cracked up to be it will be me back on the Darkside me The Federal 595 has not let me down in almost 25,000km.
