    A guy on another forum has got 5k and still lots of life left. thats on e 675 so not as much power as the blade


    If I get 3500-4000 that would be double what I got from the BT014,15,15 I have used in the past on the triple and 15 that were the OE tyres on my blade. they lasted 1800 miles

    I only got 1500 from the qualifier . It was illegal at 1200 and the first few hundred was running the bike in.. Also for me 3500-4000 miles would be a result .. I was only getting 3000 if i behaved from 2CT's on a 600rr

    Been they really are anything from track day tyres to touring. As I said they are great on a track day and when touring Europe. Cost, I payed around £270 fitted to my bike

    They are fast road / track tyres but as Matt said they are great all rounders

    I can't comment as I was going to fit my first set of Racetecs but opted for the Sportsmarts and for the road. amazing. track amazing. live amazing. touring amazing. Not a bad thing to say about them in all areas

    Well I bit the bullet and replaced my punctured oe qualifier yesterday and fitted a new sportsmart in the 55 profile, so as soon as I can I'll get it scrubbed in and look forward to trying it. Trouble is I'll be wanting to replace the front now as well! Lol

    Right you've talked me into it dan! That didn't take much now did it, lol. The brembo will have to wait. I'll see if they can fit it on Friday.
