What a silly question. . . They are excellent on a ZRX. Better than the old fave BT020. Fit them. You'll not be dissapointed... ;D

I had Z6's(amongst others...)on my 98 C2 ZRX. They worked so well on that,i put them on my first Blackbird. Well suited to big heavy sports tourers & an excellent all round choice

I have just put on some continental road attack I think they are fantastic, though I've only Done a few hundred miles on them. They are rarely good in the wet and dry. I feel more confident on them then my last tyres and they were pretty good but Wore out of very fast . ( Avon Viper sports). One of the main differences with the road attacks is that they've got a very different contour too many tyres, you can drop into a corner a lot faster, I actually prefers this, though and sure it's not to everyone's taste. Once you're used to the tyres they have got greater feel. Apparently they've got good mileage. I would definitely recommend the road attacks.

if les & daygan enjoy tires that are "rarely good in the wet and dry" they have larger cojones than i

Les and daygan and me, like most others here, put motorcycling before grammar and spellchecking!

sorry, i can be a sarcastic bastard. my sense of humor's got more warp than the enterprise. then again floog's response to my diamond query was quite meticulous!

just read an article on the road attacks they sound good. last year i ran M1's, changed the back after 6000 kliks even though i probably could have squeezed out another 1000 (it was only bald in the middle). the front may last through the new back, see what happens. this may not be an accurate assessment of their longevity as i used them hard (no intentional burnouts). motorways eat the rear M1 (weight & torque) while the rex seems pretty easy on the front. i couldn't go on a long trip with that back so i was thinking of trying a Z6 rear, M1 front. that's why i'm looking for input on Z6's from someone who's pushing them a bit. on my '01 i've had the stock flintstone BT020, dunlop 207&208GP's, 1 set of pirelli diablo's, pirelli dragon supercourses & Metzler M1's. i haven't been this impressed with a tire (M1) since i put Metzler's (laser,ME??,metronic) on my '82 GPZ750 (very modified 810 with 90 pony's at the wheel on a cool morning). braking,turning,feedback,wet, dry --- all good !!!

Just ordered a set of Conti Road Attacks. Should be in this week. Best price round here was $476.00 a pair. If I bring in the wheels they'll mount an balance for $25/per wheel. Maybe by next week the old worn skins will be gone!
