Rosso II`s
My last trip to france i did 4500 miles (not gentle) on supercosa bsb`s on an R1. My mate has the Rosso II and they are excellent but withj alot more mileage, would be my choice 100%
Ps, google map the area frist, and do the roads in first person
found a few gems that way!!

I did two long trips on Angels ST, Mileage not bad, but the edge grip was ***** and inconsistent. After being on the edge of the tire a couple of times, the softer edges and harder inner rubber compounds started to wear unevenly making an inconsistent ridge and very visible to the eye. At some places on the edge of the tire the ' width ' of the softer edge looked like a ' sine ' wave ' with either 2 cm of ' soft ' edge or almost none at all.
My biggest issue with the Angel ST ( 50 profile ) was that I damaged my rim on full lean going over a 'cat's - eye ' as the profile is to low to protect the rim from going over sizable foreign objects.
Yes, I know I should not have gone over the cat's-eye ( my eyes were far ahead on the corner exit, but no excuse ).
The point I really wanted to make is that I would never put a ' low profile ' tire on again ( don't care what make it is ) purely for the reason that the risk of damaging
a very expensive OZ is too high.

Can't remember anything nice roadwise around Assen. Police love any TT events round there as they can fine many foreigners that dont know our local rules.
Maybe do a short diversion to germany, A31 autobahn so you can test your top speed without getting a ticket ;-)
