And yes.. it was a GTR1400 included!   ;D

Note that GTR1400 was actually faster than the Hayabusa in the first 12 hours.

Nice ! I have read The Telegraph all my life and Kevin Ash is a first class reporter ... I may try these tyres but it's hard to break away from the trusted Mitchelin RP'2 s and 3's !

Well... my point was'nt Pirelli "is better".... not at all....

The full article state that even the Hayabusa GSX1340R K8 must capitulate in advance for GTR1400 - well.. in the first 12 hours. Higher average speed and test pilots says that GTR1400 was way easier to handle with max-out-speed..

We do not have to talk about that the engine at GRT1400 blew up!  ::)
