Cadwell Park Open Pit-Lane track day in August 2023, with a few BSB riders practicing too. First time with this new bike on the track and only just run in. Triumph Street Triple 765 RS, 2023 onwards model. Metzeler TD tyres fitted.
Nice! Having one of these myself, I guarantee, you're having more fun than the guy that went past up the inside at 15:32! Still using the diablo supercorsa's? I've just fitted Continental ContiRace attack2- streets after killing my tyre from 2 track days and 1400 miles. So far, really really impressed with them.
I tried the Metzeler TD slicks for the first time here. Mainly to save money, being able to flip/reverse the rear tyre. Having done that I still went through the wear indicators on the rear in just 2 days. The next day I was at Oulton Park for a Road Bike Only track-day, so I put the original Supercorsa SP’s back on. I did not feel much difference at all. I would have gone through a rear SC in just 2 days as well by the looks of it. Still really happy with both these tyres, no surprises and plenty of grip for this bike. I have just fitted Michelin Road 6’s on the road wheels, to use as ‘intermediates’ and on the road this winter. On road they are great and noticeably more comfortable on this bike, I do rate them as an all weather road tyre. At Brands Hatch in the wet though, the Road 6’s we’re not as great as I had hoped for on track.
Unfortunately they don’t allow it. I even had a tank ring RAM mount with an extension arm pointing flat away from me, but no, they think it is safer to attach it to the handlebars which means the GoPro extension arm is pointing towards me instead! You can see the clamp for it on the right. It is a shame, as from the tank you would see the movement in the handlebars more, but at least the dash/headlight on this bike is fixed to the headstock, rather than the forks, so you can still see some movement.
