Tire technology has come a long way since then. I think even the best 250 2T riders in the world from 20 years ago would feel comfortable racing these bikes on today's street going tires.

Couldn't agree more! People laughed when they saw the NSR500Vs out for the first time on Pirelli road tyres.

Quote from Matt@TYGA on the day, "nothing, nothing passed me!".

The only person so far who said he would've liked to try it with slicks was John McGuinness, at Rockingham. But by the time he rode it, the tyres had done several track days and really were on their very last legs. He still said it was an awesome ride though, but we could hear him spinning it up through the long left-hander. He actually commented on how good it was on the Supercorsas.
