Cannot understand the concept of "A good compromise between grip and mileage".
It's not a car.
As I've found out, trying to get a more economical tyre life will ruin the enjoyment of the bike. Harder compounds just don't warm up enough and are crap in the wet.
Fit Diablos, or try the Road Attack 2's.
When you say Diablos ... do you mean (got this list from the Pirelli website as "recommended for my XB9SX):
Diablo Corsa III
Diablo
Diablo Rosso
Diablo Strada
They also list Scorpion Sync (which I have at the moment) and Angel ST
My problem is that all recommendations on the 'net are targeted at zero-chicken-strip, track-day, sports-bike hooligans (like youself
) whereas I want to know what's good for a short commute to work, still fairly large chicken-strip, still rides like a girl, guy who admits to getting scared shitless in the wet, but still wants the thrash the Buell on the few sections of the short commute. (As the commute is only 15 minutes I don't want a tyre that takes 10 to warm up)
