    Wasn't a huge fan of the road 5s on my gsxr,the maxxis I bought the bike with were superb,no idea what model...the 5s slipped a few times on me and that was in rhe dry..currently running rosso corse 2s I think...very little mileage to form real opinion but so far so.good

    I have just put another m7 on the rear
    1 because the front is a m7
    2 because it gripped from cold unlike the Bridgestone
    3 great in the wet
    I will fit m9’s when the front has gone

    I have got M9RRs on my S1000RR and they are great, they warm up quick so all good. however..... i have currently got Super Corsas on the blade, once i pick it up (Trading in my S1000RR) i am going to try S22's and keep the SCs for a trackday :)

    Are you guys changing your own tyres? Is it hard to do?

    Another fan of S22 s here. I put them on mine when I bought it 2nd hand at 3k miles as the originals were getting thin on tread. Work for me in all conditions - don't go out in the snow though:rolleyes:. They do feel safer in tight corners than the Pilots I had on the last bike - 2012Blade.

    why did you get rid? i test rode one last week and was massively impressed but reading too many stories about reliability issues.

    Getting rid because its just so unreliable.. I have always been a Honda man.... thought i'd try the BMW.... but plagued with issues... so time to pass it on.

    How does the new blade compare? I found the rr comfy compared to my 14 plate blade.

    I'm getting the 2020 blade to replace my 2020 M Sport BM...... TBH there isn't much in it really.... except the BM has better bottom end grunt over the 2020 blade, but this has been rectified with the new 2022 blade as they have changed the gearing.
