    So after few twisties tray, it looks brilliant, great grip, very great handling.

    I have done pressure recommend by Metzeler on track to Motorrad test, 2,3 front 2,7 rear for the moment.

    If they're better than the M5's they'll be mustard.


    Bet Si will put a pair on soon enough!

    50 ams this morning, definitively brilliant.

    always 2,3 2,7 bar inside, better handling than the D211 when they are cold ( normal cause D211 runs low pressure ) , and brilliant she they are hot.

    They warm up very quickly on the entire tyre, i was surprise by the grip especially for a sport touring tyre and the high pressure ! very great at the the lean with a lot of throttle.

    My case is particular cause i have 30hp than a standard Blade but even with that point, i can ride like i want with these M7.

    All good for me, good bye the Sportsmart 2 and D211 ( dead too quickly ) , welcome to my new future tires !

    I really liked the old Sportec M5 Interacts. If the M7RR is better, then it must be a brilliant tyre.

    Just bought a pair.

    I'll soon see how these compare to the sportsmarts for performance and mileage.

    These sound interesting, I ride pretty hard on the road and favourite at mo is Rosso Corsa. Hated the M5 it over heats causing slides front and rear. Original Sportsmart is also lacking in grip compared with Rosso Corsa. I only ride slow in the wet so dont need the best wet weather tyre. But getting more life out of a rear tyre would be good.

    Going to slap a m7RR on the rear of mine this week if i can get time...

    Should be ok with the M5 front i think, as that's hardly worn.

    So after 2000 Kms with them, absolutely perfect !

    SO just one issue, they are perfect for very agressive street riding, and the side will be dead before the center ... lol

    Went 70 also.
    Still to try mine out though. Combination of workload and weather have ensured that.
