MICHELIN POWER GP2?
They are aye.I’ve ran their Power RS, Power RS+ and Power GP’s in the past and have always really liked them.
I’ve dabbled with Pirelli Supercorsa and Dunlop Sportsmart TT’s since my last set of GP’s and as good as they are I think I prefer Michelin’s so thought I’d give these a go.

Thanks all! Yes, the CBR was a left field itch I wanted to scratch..
Back in the early 90’s, still scooting around on small 2T’s, I was fascinated with the big CBR, particularly the pink so called ‘Benetton’ coloured machine. It was big, fast, brash, and way out of my league financially..
So when I saw this beautiful condition, 23k mile big pink CBR thou last year.. I had to have it
I think I might have seen that one while idly browsing the MCN website...I've had an FH and an FM. Loved both, although the earlier bike shed body parts seemingly over every pothole! I'd still love another while they're still relatively cheap and not 50 years old yet!Back in the early 90’s, still scooting around on small 2T’s, I was fascinated with the big CBR, particularly the pink so called ‘Benetton’ coloured machine.

I've not heard anything about them, you'll have to share your thoughts on them when we get some decent weather.I’ve ran their Power RS, Power RS+ and Power GP’s in the past and have always really liked them.

Picked this up today from Essex (in a van). It’s a 2013 Piaggio X10 350cc. It’s had a hard life It’s missing a load of bits of trim and what is still there is all scuffed, scratched and cracked.
However, it still has six months MOT, starts and rides perfectly and most importantly only cost me £200!!!

I am very jealous. Essex is my way and that would've been a perfect commute bikeHowever, it still has six months MOT, starts and rides perfectly and most importantly only cost me £200!!!

That’s exactly what I’ll be using it for. I spent a couple of hours adding screws to the various bits of bodywork to keep it all in place. Just need to have another number plate made for it and it’s good to go. hiccy18 said:
Well done, you must be proud.
Can't quite see what the rosette says, but hope to see it later today so can look closer then.
Click on the original pic in tvrolet's post, click on it again in thumbsnap, and you can see, and expand, the high-res pic.Can't quite see what the rosette says, but hope to see it later today so can look closer then.
Congratulations, tvrolet.

I angree with you, they are really cheap for the bike you get. It’s perfect for long lazy rides, or having the wife on the back.

If you see an absolute bargain like that again please message me!Got out for a cracking 170+ mile ride Saturday. Decided against Mx Sunday as I'm at almeria in a few days and knowing my luck I'd twang something
Also just come down with man flu and pulled my back. Hate getting old - sucks balls big time
Burnham cafe onto walkers then Finch with 90% dry grippy roads was lovely though
My S22s are well past their best with the front all pointy and rear squared. Makes real nervy leaning in as it feels like the front is losing grip (for me)
If you know the cafe this is from you know the wonky stairs to get there too
