You are not wrong.

Frog the willowbank track is made of higrip hotmix and it tears up any tyre that you use there, I agree with the no feedback from the michelins and havnt tried a bridgestone there and really prefere a dunlop slick for the track.

The michelins seem to go off to quick and get a greasy feeling to them after 4 or so laps of willowbank (powers) which leaves me with no confidance i just get off the track rahter than see if it will lowside.

Havnt been able to find a tyre that will walk acrross a corner yet on the six but the gpr70 was a great thing on a 250. :D

Will have to try some of the new dunlop road tyres when i eventually get the six back in road gear.

The guys with the dollers all say great things about metlers for a road tyre and they look to have a nice profile about them so less hanging off and heaving and quicker lighter steering for the road. :D
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?

Looks like there might be half a dozen 03/04 636's on track at the same time :shock:

James might have to change the name of the days to Kawasaki ride days?
