I have used road smarts for the last 3 years on my xjr1300, best tyre I have used get 10-12tho out of the back 13-15 from the front. im not slow but not silly fast..
Coming down Hartside the pannier was 2 inches off the floor (according to the traffic sergeant/accident investigator) on a bend I overcooked/underlooked a few years ago, braking wasnt an option, steering was pointed where I wanted to go so the only thing to do was leeeeaaaaan.
Traction was maintained at what must have been close to the limit and my arse put a crease in the seat, bike and I came out of the bend with a smile.
Great luggaged and pillioned in the wet and dry, totally recommended.
Thanks for your imput laffo and highwayman, they seem to have impressed you guys, well thats it decision made roadsmarts will be fitted asap... that mileage from the back tyre really is very very good
im gettin about 7-8k out of the rear... i probably ride similr to you both eg not always slug slow and not always megafast.....
thanks again laffo/highwayman
