      While it looks like it going to between the z6's and sport attacks!!!! I have had alot of remarks on the z6's that were good. I also have had my Mechanic and riding budda tell to go sport attacks.

      Thanks to all on the input!!!!

        They [the Z6's] are that good a tire on the Kats.
        Whether they are a great tire with any particular bike is a combination of a lot of factors (geometry of the bike, total power output, weight, etc.); your results on other platforms may vary.

            Very different tires. The Sport Attacks are a tire designed to maximize grip at the cost of service life, while the Z6s are a compromise tire which give up some ultimate grip to last much longer, and deal better with wet conditions. Ultimate grip IMNSHO is not that big a deal on the Kat because it is simply not capable of putting down big HP and TQ numbers.

            Just because they sound the same doesn't mean they are: there≠their≠they're; to≠too≠two; its≠it's; your≠you're; know≠no; brake≠break

              Now I was on a gsxr with the Diablo's on it and liked it , but I can only find them in 180/70 17 in the rear. Will they fit on a 01 750?

              Never mind I found the info I was looking for in one of CP's old threads

                I have the diablos in 150/70/17 on my 600 and as soon as my 750 needs tires I will be putting them on it too but for now I only have 1100 mi on the new 750 so the stock tires will stay

                  I'm currently running Diablo Strada's (14K+ and climbing) - comparable to the Z6's, so long as you maintain pressures (I like to run a little higher 38F/41R), you'll get good service from them.
