I totally agree with the Sport Demons. I¡¯ve had BT45¡¯s on my W650 and they were completely adequate, but replaced them with the Pirelli¡¯s at my last tire change. The Sport Demons weren¡¯t particularly hard to mount or balance, but the best thing for me is their handling. I took my Dub to the track last summer (slow class, for sure!) so they saw ¡°the ton¡± every lap. They felt great! No issues at lean or transitions, I just felt confident with them.
I run 33F 36R psi normally, though lower for the track as tires get really hot and gain pressure at sustained higher speeds. No need for tire warmers, the Sport Demons are a street tire and while they don¡¯t have the ultimate traction of track tires, they also aren¡¯t finicky about tire warmth.
My 2 cents. And: Hi Ruari!!
