Hi Dan,

Just to set the record strait, my other bike IS a
Superhawk. I love those little hawks but have never
owned one. Thanks for thinking of me tho...

They seem to be the most nuetral of any tire i have
used, and I get the best mileage out of them, which,
for me, is about 5k...I like the way they turn in ,
they are ver predictable. The front doesnt seem to
scallop as much as some others I have used. That being
said, I have never used Avons or Pilots...I hesitate
to change too much on the RS, since the 020s, I have
run a few sets of 014s and 014/010 combos, and it
seems as though i have been fighting with the bike for
a year now. I wanted to go back to what works, and of
course, the 020s are no longer available...hence my
questions...
