So....it sounds like the D207 / D208 / D209 GP is the tyre to go for. Just to confirm - these are better then my current GPR70's? I was hoping to get the last bit of wear out of my GPR70's to help evaluate the next tyres, but won't get on track till next year now...so might just replace them anyway.

On the subject of the VFR800, they sure are a very capable bike - the engine is a peach, and they go right over for what is quite a heavy sports tourer. It just needed a lighter, sportier frame etc, but then I suppose you'd have a RC45.
