Eeeek ME Z4s!! Sorry chaps but I had them on my SV650 a number of years ago and they were sh*te. Much better off with a Bridgestone 012/020 combination. I`ve run them on the SV, a ZZR6, a ZX6R and the Storm. They have worked on every bike I've had and until 6 months ago I was doing 15000 mile a year in all weathers.
Don't say I didn't warn you!!!!!

I'm guessing you mean 012's front, 020's rear ?

I'm not suprised. Abike that small and gutless couldn't wear the skin off a peach. No wonder they didn't work

Don't worry Tony they'll be alright on a proper bike

Well, like I said before you have been warned. They didn't inspire confidence and lacked grip particulary in the wet although they did last well. Guess it depends what you want but I`ll stay with the B/stones thank you very much.

Steve VTR............you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Thats what i am going back to. Sportmax are ok, but more confidence inspiring the Battlax series.
