Bloody 12 has toooo much power! If your doing just touring/cruising maybe Pilot sports or roads or watever they are called i hear they are good for that job and not so soft! as PP or M3

I'd had to slow down to about 20km/h while a slower punter moved outta the way, hence first :)

I just put a Dunlop 208, 200/50/17, onto my 12 and its very ordinary.
I only bought it, as it was cheap !!! But it takes a long time to warm up and i have Blazed it more times than i can count !!! :shock:
I have had 208's on other bikes but not on a 12 b4.
i will be going for the pilot road 2's next time, i currently have 1 on the front and its supa ;)

actually my 2JZ is capable of doing it in 3rd! i had it dyno'd and made over 600nm of talks 3rd gear with a bit of clutch kick, but 2nd no worry with just brute power!

Gotta love Jap stuff!

Still stock twins? I've got a mate with a shade over 300rwhp from his... he's just gone big single so will be interesting to see what he gets out of it. Aim is mid-to-late 400's.

Back on topic, I think I've decided on 014s

Mine had an HKS t51R running basically no pounds of boost, on 25 psi made close to 1100nm and bit under 600rwhp quite the 600 eater
