Ok to every body out there just wanted to know what tyres you are running on, and what you have tried ???
As for me had the Metzeler mz3 (I thing, the one's the Falco comes with) and they where bad.
I have had Bridgestone 010. And did'nt like them.No feeling in the wet, and felt like the bike was going to fall over in the corners.
I have had Dunlop 207,And have had great fun with them.
Then 207rr front and back.
Then 207rr front and a 208 at the back this was a good set up, and did a track day with them.
and now 208rr front and back. Really good.
The Dunlop seem to be a good tyre for the Falco. and they are just as good in the wet.They have a good feel to them and are netral in the coners. Letting you lean the bike over as much as you want.
Thinking about try a set of Pirelli Diablo's next, but i know they won't last as long as the 208rr.
For me the Dunlops are a good mix of grip and cost.
What have you tried and what have you got now.[?][:D]

Mate that I go out on runs with who has a '99 RSV had Pilot powers on his. He recently changed them for the 2CT's and reports back that they are even better with regards to handling and stickiness and appear to be wearing well just as the original Pilot Powers were.
I'm going to try 2CT's next too.[:D]

Got 010 on the front - turns into corners into a bit slow, and has done for a while. Tried some suspension fiddling but not much change
014 on the back - seems good so far no problems to report
Took it to Pembrey recently and they performed well all day, not giving me any "moments", in quite hot conditions. Had a good amount of rubber "snot" on the edges of the rear, and some on the front too[^]

Did have 207RRs, great in the summer but didnt like the winter! I went straight to a set of standard Pirelli Diablos and they were fine. Not as grppy as the 207RR but great all round.

Well thanks people, you have given me lots to think about, didn't have that problem with the 207 RR myself.
Maybe i'm riding like a bit of a tart these day. ( Ha Ha)[:o)]
