Hello PH bikers.

Not had a bike since 2002 but having just moved to near Royston and with the office being in Hatfield I managed to find a legitimate excuse to own a motorcycle again and went shopping. I bought a Bandit 1250S which I am delighted with especially since popping on a Yoshimura can which has resulted in lots of very agreeable pops and bangs on the overrun. Absolutely loving riding again and after a month, I'm feeling more confident again all round.

Anyway, for cars etc I am pretty clued up on consumable items but not at all for bikes. Can I please get some recommendations for brake pads? Won't be doing track days just road commuting (50 miles/day) and occasional rides out on the sunny weekends for pleasure. Disks are fine for now but pads want doing shortly.

Thanks for all the replies chaps. Certainly seems to have sparked a debate.

Think I'll go Brembos this time and see how we get on.
