I'm new to the RSV too, I just put Michelin Pilot Road 2's on mine and so far so good after about 800 miles you'd think they were brand new :biggrin
BT 016's for me, they are excellent all rounders.
Good in the wet, loads of grip in the dry and appear to be lasting well.

Some Pirelli Supercorsa Pros, they will make you feel young again:biggrin
How can you be tooooooooooooooooo old to do trackdays:confused
My last tyres were Super Corsa Pro's and unless it was 20 degrees celsius they had little grip.
If it rained then I had to pull over until the road dried out, was akin to balancing a egg on its end and about as much fun.
2CT's or BT 016's are excellent tyres for all road conditions.
Only way to find out what you like is to try a set, if you don't get on with them then stick them on Ebay.
Track days Hmmmm!!! Agreed, you can never be too old.
T'was tongue firmly planted in cheek amb:devious, i would not recommend them for what he needs, Pilot Powers or similar type of tyre that warms up quick

waiting to be shot down........
not tried these on my RSV but had them on my gixxer and loved them - Conti Road Attacks!!!
Good hard centre for touring/commuting and soft edges for playing. Dis a Norway trip with loads of fast bends and hairpins combined with motorway drags.
When they were squared off and ready for a change - did a track day and rounded them back off again!!!!!!:devious

Michelin Pilots mate - the 2CTs are dual compound - sticky on the edges but more hard wearing on the centre.
Cheers for that A303.
All these new terms, I don't know what they will think of next. They will probably start putting cameras in phones.

have tried a lot of types of tyres - supercorsa, viper sport - supersport - extreme, conti race attack etc. etc. etc.
but finally found out, that the best compromise between price, durability and grip on the road as well as on the track is metzeler sportec M3 :thumbup
