Well I got my new Avon Viper Sport AV-59 & AV-60's mounted yesterday thanks to John at Micky Finn's Honda. I put 200 miles on them today. For thos of you wondering what the tread pattern/profile looks like here's a pic of the front.
And the rear.
My best discription of the way they handle is like gliding on fluid or gliding on ice skates (but with traction). The first 100 miles I took it kind of slow because everyone told me the tires need to break in. The next 100 I let it rip. I got low in some twisties and some good straight line acceleration. This is my first set of new tires as I bought my Busa used so I really don't have anything to compair them to. I can say if they handle as well as they did today and I can get some milage out of them I'll never switch. I have 38 psi in them insted of the 42 that the manufacturer recomends. I thought 42 would be too hard. Anyway so far so good and here are a few pics of my trip today. I went way up to the NW corner of my state and into New York a little ways. The stretch of Rt 7 the runs from Rt 44 to Rt 4 has some nice twisties in addition to some of the nicest scenery in CT. I went back to Mohawk but this time to the sking part. Took a few pics there. Then up 4 to 41 back to 44 then home. All in all a great day.
