I've had them fitted for about two months now. Great so far. Not been on track yet but I wanted some more road orientated tyres after 18 months on Racetecs which were brill in the dry but not good in the rain.

I like them a lot and think they probably offer all the grip I need and more.

The lean indicator stuff is really embarrassing though. I was showing Klink and Shade the new tread a few weeks ago and I was dreading the comments when they saw that stuff. Dreamed up by some teenage minded marketing idiots who have NO IDEA what we want on our tyres. I mean who would really ask for this stuff? Unless it indicated real hero status and like you say you can lean past the 5 without trying.

I think JehadJoe is running these too.

Yes, I've shod them now, only a few hundred on them but so far so very nice, I want to ride them through the winter and hoping to get more than 1200 miles out of the rear, my M-3's and corsa III's both got 1k-1200 out of them so I hoping to get more than that out of the M-5's or stop powering out.

I loved my M3s, so I'm pleased to see that the M5s are getting such good feedback from you guys.

What me??? Nah it must have been a glitch in the server software



Did suck you right in there though bud I can confirm though that Bic's rear was indeed KFC free
They run these on the S1000rr as high performance tyres. They got killer ratings on that bike on the track.?????
