video isnt there any more

if you wanted a cheap decent tyre then the Avon viper x treme is amazing .... only problem is you can tear through a rear in 1800 miles

but my god the grip was good... i had bridgestones on my bike when i first got it and they lacked any feel too ages to warm up and just felt really wooden under the bike

switched to the viper xtremes and within 5 mins of warming them up I got my knee down ... I couldn't believe it .... seems like such a long time ago now  [rofl]

I deleted the video coz i wanted to sell the bike lol. Since running on metzelers and pirellis again i realised how bad the maxxis were. They  just slipped around alot. Id never even chance it. I feel for maxxis coz they could have really took the market if the tyres had better grip. A low budget road legal track tyre is a great combination but they just not sticky enough

SKITLER:
thought id read this as i have maxxis tyres fitted to my zx9r and zzr600

i dont use either on the track, nor do i use either or any of my bikes anywhere near there full potential these days

i find them easy to ride on and the bikes do turn into bends quite well, the only issues is with manhole covers on bends where they do skip out a tad, well, more than the avon azaros i used to run on when i had my zzr1100.

i had to slam on while on the zx9 the other day and the front took most of the force and held ok but it was a hot day, i am aware that it must be cheaper rubber due the the price only being about £130 for the pair, so im always cautious if in the wet or greasy conditions from tree shaded bends.

in hind sight i dont think ill buy them again though, as there are grippier options, and as we know only to well its best to keep the bikes shiny ways up.  [greenie]

I had a set on my ZRX1100, good road tyre but track use.....no way!
