Michelin Power Shift on a Forza 750

Post by Dr Gonzo »

The OEM Pirelli Rosso on the rear of my Forza 750 is starting to get a bit squared off and will need changing soon. I've always run Michelin Pilot Road tyres on my motorbikes and woudl run them on the Forza if the sizes were available. However, it looks like I'll have to go for a pair of Power Shifts if I want Michelin tyres.

Has anybody tried them on a Forza 750?

Any other options I should be considering?

Cheers

Sorry, not aware of what tyre sizes the Forza takes, so this may not be relevant.
I've tried several tyres on my Tmaxs over the years (120/70-15F, 160/60-15R) including Bridgestone, Michelin Pilot Road, Dunlop ScootSmart nd most recently Metzeler Feelfree. I've actually come to like the Metzelers quite a lot - plenty of feel. The B.stones and Michelin were fine, but not so much feel in tricky conditions. Just avoid Anlas and similar cheap stuff!
How did you find the Pirelli Diablo Rosso? I'm a bit down on Pirellis after some bad experiences 20 years ago, but they have had glowing reports from other Tmax riders.
