It was a mistake on the distributor's part that led to the Diablo and Diablo Rosso going on mine. I wanted the Stradas, but they got a rear Strada and a front Diablo in. So I opted to go with the Rosso on the rear to match the softer compound.

Only about 500 miles total on them- with 100 or so being track. Not enough to see any flat spot.

Holy crap... I have to say, just put a new set of BT003R's on the bike for the trackday yesterday. Medium Front - Hard Rear. And... WOW!!! They are fantastic.

I saw a set of Conti Race Attacks shred themselves over the weekend. One of th local guys runs in NESBA A. He totaled his 636, and found a GSXR600 with the RAs. The right side of that rear looked horrible after a couple sessions. He fiddled the suspension and changed pressures, but it didn't help. Bought a set of Pirelli SuperCorsa Pros and they looked fantastic after a couple more sessions.

Ok, finally got to go for a bit of a ride yesterday. It is ND, so no twisties, but a few corners and a couple on ramps

The PP's stick well, and turn in super quick, but feel almost twitchy when going straight.
I can see where they would be a great tire on most bikes, and depending on how they wear, I may try them again, but with the Buell's aggressive geometry, not the most stable tire at speed.

I'm really leaning toward Pilot Road 2's. I'm looking for a compromise between cornering ability and mileage. We don't have super tight twisties around here. Think 90+ mph in turns without really leaning all that far. Are there any other recommendations?
