Nwebie with R1200S

Postby dorsal fin » Mon Aug 28, 2017 9:36 am

Morning all,
I've recently got a R1200S, I already have a R1150GSA and a Ducati 748, I've been a member on UKGSer for years, I'm in Sudbury in Suffolk.
Quick question, what tyres do you lot suggest for the 12S? It is the sport version with Ohlins/190 rear.
Cheers
Peter

It depends on what you want to do with it really. I have tried Pilot Road, Conti motion and now on Conti Sport Attacks. All have been fine, the bike is a bit slower steering with the 190 rear on it.

+1!
Mine came with PR4s, which I've been happy with so far for my purposes .. fine weather street recreation only riding. Am considering the Metzelor Roadtec 01 next time, after this evaluation https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EzcgeHLZMvw&feature=youtu.be .
