> But wet traction was far superior on the Michelins. Hey Marion and Bruce...long time! I will second Marion's comment, the Macadam's, very grippy. I ran these as my race tire last season on my 350 twin and they grip well to levels well beyond any street application.
They were also on my cb650 when last it raced. At CMP I ended up with my first, third place piece of firewood by being foolish enough to race in a torrential downpour. It rained so hard that riders pitted due to lack of visibility. The 650 was run wide open through standing water and heeled over in corners. I felt the rear end brake free only twice, that was at the end of the front straight and was probably avoidable with smoother riding (which is a huge factor in the wet weather riding issue) Steven Barber SOHC4 , WERA # 106 350GP '70 CB 350 race bike- '75 CB750F - '81 CB650 - '82 CBX - "Avoid trifling conversations" - Benjamin Franklin
