2T the way forward!
Looks a lovely little pocket rocket. I took the Blade out today shod with some new Avon ST2 Storm tyres, scrubbed them in a week or so ago, not too keen on them as they spin up at 70mph in the wet in 5th gear... Think I might replace them with something a bit softer, I was running Metzeler Rennsports before and they stuck like the proverbial but didn't last long. Any suggestions?

Got bored of the Triumph rather quickly...so it's gone to a new home. The lack of fairing and being so tall didn't help either.
Looking at a replacement tomorrow

Buy a faired bike Loftust. I just couldn't get on with my friends Speed triple, the wind blast at over 80 was ridiculous. Great bike though.
I've just bought some Dunlop Sportsmart Sportmax, recommended by the Fireblade boys. They're being fitted today.
