I have put about 40k's on them now & wow what a difference. I suppose the best way to sum them up is its as if someone has taken the training wheels off compared to the original Tourances. The bike actually goes to the point where you are looking and much more sure footed with no squirming. Even on a 180 degree bend with 6 railway lines running across didn't perturb them. So far so good !!

You feel like Casey Stoner or his competetors - but just on a Tenere ? Thats what I did with the MT60....
Coming from Heidenau K60 Scout to Pirelli MT60 was like going from an old Massey Ferguson tractor to a Maserati sportscar.
Actually I got 15500 kms out of them. But mind you it was not in Australia. I am in Australia for the moment and here I have worn out two sets of tyres and getting only 8-9 k kms out of each set. Sava and Shinko.
