My sweet little Sport Lady loves her Angels. But the Bad Girl liked her Diablos as well.

 

9,000 miles? I'm lucky to get 4,000 on a rear - Angel or Diablo.

I'm very happy with michelin pilot roads at the moment, around 10000 km for a rear and 12000 for a front instaed of previous rear 4 to 6000ks and around 8 for the front with Bridgestones plus plenty of grip

My previous Conti's I was able to squeeze almost 9k out of before changing. Had some radial showing through on the rear which was an eye opener. I just had a set of Shinko R009's fitted last week and with a few hundred miles on them they seem fine although time will tell. They take a little longer to warm up but that is fine for me.

Replaced the Metzler Sportecs at 10500 Km (not all my K's - they were on the bike when I got it) with Angels and liked them straight away. Felt much better - possibly due to fresh unworn profile, but made a big difference.

Go for Diablo.

Best tyre ever for Italian bikes.

The Z6 is also good, but the diablo is better.

Please don't go Conti or Pilot Road or whatever, stay Italian.

My Pirellis say "Made in Germany" , still love 'em. I will buy Angels in 6000 miles or so, I got 9,000+ out of the last set of the Diablo's, which the Angels replace, if I'm not mistaken.

If I recall Metzeler owns Pirelli MC so maybe they moved production?

The Angels are the replacement for the Diablo Strada. I loved the Diablo Stradas. The next set which are on the bike now are the more sporty Diablos. Both very good, Diablos may be better in the dry and Stradas better in the wet but neither ever let me down. I just bought a pair of Angels for my Aprilia. Have not mounted them yet.

Got Bridgestone BT 023s fitted and they grip really well rain or shine , had Road Attacks fitted before them and they lasted about 7k.

Just scrubbing in a set of Roadsmarts - should be able to give a decent report in 2014 on my current mileage

Got roadsmarts on my bike (second pair) get about 3500 rear, 4500 front. Good tyres.

Well fella's, it's left field but I'm running these bad boy's on my "V11 off-roading replacement" eg. http://wildchild.org.uk/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=41

 

Bikes are picked up tomorrow & transported to Marbella for £165/bike - cheaper than the cost of fuel to get there! Fly to Malaga for £40 each Friday & take delivery on Sat & then we'll be rockin' to Morocco.

 

A guzzi, a geezer & a yammy - we'll see who survives longest.

I'd like some way to follow that trip. Are you going to keep posting on that same blog? Maybe you could keep us updated here on our "travel" forum.
