DO NOT TOUCH THEM !!, They are made of cheese & plastic (Inspite of the claims), they are £11-00 for a reason.
Simple rule
If you are a push on kind of rider then use EBC HH or similar, if you are a commuter type rider then use standard pad's.
Of course with brake pads always buy the best you can afford. :)
 
I put a set in my rs250 a while back and have had no problems at all and i am buying a set for the rsv shortly .bedded in well have a full swipe of the disc and not to dusty no difference to the ebc hh that i took out. its up to you chap.

I've used them....not great....would suggest EBC HH instead as per Kiwi!
 
Ive used them on my kwak. not bad but didn't last long. Ideal cheap getby item.
don't think I would use them on the mille. love the front brakes :)
 
have to say gaz i,ve used these only on the rear though and they were really good apart from the fact the don't seem to last long everybody goes on about ebc hh ! which i wouldn't be useing again the compound is to hard for aftermarket discs like i have and started to really groove the fookers nearly destroying my rear disc completley and thats when i changed to the one's you were asking about can't say for the front but i will trying them myself:thumbup

EBC HH never again for me!!!
 
i used to use gold fren pads in my rs50 and they did 'ok' despite being sintered they were not massively better than the standard pads that were in it before, instead of going with gold fren for the mille i ended up going for some armstrong HH sintered pads which so far are brilliant, bedded in fast and have more bite than the brembo ones that came with the bike, seem to be lasting quite well to, not as cheap as the gold fren but nowhere near the silly prices you see for brembo pads

worth considering, and i think the people saying gold fren pads are terrible and not worth using are being a bit silly, they still work and will still perform alright its just they arent up to intensive use such as riding on track or riding like a looney on the roads... if you always brake super heavy then dirt cheap pads probably arent for you, but if you brake sensibly they will be up to the task

just my two pence
