We have been fitting this new sport-touring tyre
since their launch in February of this year on a wide variety of bikes
from Kawasaki Ninja's to BMW RT1150 R's and have had nothing but glowing
reports from everybody. Our first customer had a Honda VFR800 and some
how managed to acquire a set for his bike 3 months before their official
launch. After 8500 to 9000 mile of travelling from Margate to Southeast
London, a round trip of approx. 150 miles per day, on motorway and
country roads. He came in for a new rear tyre having nothing but praise,
about the outstanding mileage, excellent dry grip and exceptional wet
weather handling. A customer dropped us a line about the performance of
the tyres:
Just a quick note to say that the Metzeler Roadtec Z6 you put on my
Ninja 636 (the red one), a couple of months ago are fantastic. I had
Dunlop's before that came with the bike when I bought it. They have made
riding much more fun; they stick to the road and I feel more confidant
with them. See you in two thousand miles. David Wheeler
The rider of the BMW RT1150R we fitted the
Roadtec's to, said he was astonished with the excellent grip he got in
all weather conditions. And was very proud of the fact that he had
started to scrub off the Metzeler logo on the very edge of the tread
after only 450 miles. Not bad for a big touring bike. The reports have
been outstanding on this tyre and it is certainly living up to the
manufactures official ball shit. It seems to be building up a good
reputation for its self. Excellent grip in all weather conditions and
extended mileage what more could you ask for.
Many thanks for an excellent job of fitting the
Roadtec tyres. I have since ridden on every type of road and find them
to be extremely competent tyres. Now I cannot find a very good reason
to consider sport tyres again, as these seem to be on a par with any
good sport tyres going! So far, the front tyre has shown no sign of
the 'One handed bar wobble', I have experienced with both the BT56 and
BT010, at around 35 mph! Yes, my 010 has developed the bar wobble,
despite being very good to start with! However, I will keep an eye on
this as the mileage builds up. Leaning into bends is excellent and the
steering response is great. Braking hard is well taken care of and has
proved stable. With tyres this good it is hard to find adequate words
to say how good they really are! I can recommend Roadtecs as fitments
to Honda Hornet owners. Now to wait for the rain (Obviously not your
favourite weather!) and test out the wet road grip!
Regards, Robin
