Have had the Spitfires on now for 10,000 kilometres (Miles?) Thought they were ok but have
had Avon Road riders on my Previous bike (08 Sportster 1200) and Luved them!
Well after installing the Tires yesterday wasn't expecting too much of a difference but boy was I wrong.
I headed into the first corner which I have done thousands of times from my place and almost
lost it! The bike turned so quick and effortlessly I almost laid it down, just wasn't expecting a tire to make that much of a diff. Freaked my out really.I slowed it down some and tried to get used to the new way it handled.Totally different bike to ride in the corners now. More like a sport bike, plus as an added bonus
(which I already new) the tires DON,T follow groves or ruts in the pavement.They just track strait thru which
makes the bike ride smoother and I feel more confident.I think the side walls of these tires are much stiffer. Wet adhesion is excellent also.I don't see any negative to these tires, wait maybe one.They look kinda modern and sporty for this bike but I've gotten over it already! Just my 2cents Canadian funds LOL!
