Hello Graham, and welcome to NSR-WORLD.

If you can track down the correct sizes, my personal favourites are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsas, but not always easy to find in 110/70 & 150/60. We've run them on everything for years now, from the NSR250s to NSR500s, and RC30 & RC45 endurance bikes. Don't be tempted to fit oversized tyres, unless you're particularly handy with suspension and geometry setup, as it's very easy to ruin the handling.

I can't stand Bridgestones myself, but others here swear by the BT090. I'm not particularly fast, so I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable on them, but of the bikes I've ridden (all MC21s) on Bridgestones, they've all felt unstable. Having said that, we ran one of the NSR500Vs on BT090s, and the feedback was very good.... right up until it was crashed... twice! Once low-sided into the hairpin at Donington, and the other a massive high-side, again at Donington! But what do I know?! 🤣🤣🤣

As always with tyres, it's very subjective, and everyone's opinions will differ.
