I now have over 100miles on the BT56 and ready to put my bike into some good curves. How are you guys feeling about the 56? Thanks in advance.

I switch over to Dunlop, much better as far as wear on the Busa.
Got 10,000 on the 207s, couldn't get more than 5,000 on the stock tires.
It's in the shop getting some 208s right now. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif

Went out to the twisties today and the 56 were really good for what I do. The Bus handled the roads pretty well. Do you guys ever scrape in any turns? I have about a half inch of unused rubber on my rear and about the same up front. I was getting the feeling that I was getting really close to scraping something. Maybe its just getting used to the bike and still have much more lean left. Anyway let the new guy know what you experienced riders think.
Thanks.

Nope. Keep going. You're not going to hit anything until that sissy strip is gone.

Yea CORNERS I have more to go. Sissy strips almost gone, not worried about scraping anything anymore. I now see that would be almost impossible for me on the streets. Just done my 600mile check all is well. Damn I love this bike it does everything well with power to spare. I needed it to haul my 225lb ass around. Anyway, Thanks and stay safe out there.
