Living over here in Germany, I have the opportunity to do 200+ at will, BUT...  The last time out,on BT56's, I went 190 indicated for 15 minutes straight!  When I pulled over to wait for the others my Tires had lost nearly all their tread!      I don't think pushing 200 mph for a long period of time is worth it, regardless of brand.      They were Blistered!

Heaven?  Yes, it's called the autobahn.  300kph speed limit, hence the 186mph restriction.  The proper air pressure and Rennsports and you wouldn't have that problem of blistering.

Yep gps is dead on at top speed as long as you give it a second or two to lock the speed.
obviously it's dead on at lower speeds as well just stays a step or two behind when your in it hard.
I'll set the cruise in my car sometimes and watch the speedo on the gps adjust in tenths of a mph.    the're accurate trust me.

Depending on conditions,air,traction etc,you will need a minimum of 200,more would be better.And at those speeds aerodynamics is more important than HP so anything you can do to get rid of drag will help.

hay ozbusa where ya from mate ? Im in Canberra  and run at Lake gairdner  Im a DLRA member  get in touch  lsr350@hotmail.com
shaved tyres  means that you have most of the tread removed by buffing , it helps in keeping the growth of the tyre down caused by centrifugal force  im running michlin HPX 180/55 rear and same up front 120/55   both wheels and tyres have been statically and dynamically ballanced with steel stems and metal caps

Im suprised none of the "big" tire companies have an eye on this.   They make special compound tires strictly for Daytona and roadracers.   Surely LSR specific tires would sell pretty well!
Anyone got an inside track on motorcycle tire companies?   Maybe sneak down to Daytona next month during testing?

I have been using the BT010. Just ordered another one. Very little spinnage. Great street tire in my opinion. I am not into the twisties. Just hammering it in a straight line.

A 180 will fit on the Busa. And Yes it will turn quicker.

180mm is slightly taller than a 190 in the tread center.   Works good.  I dont think you'll ever go back to a 190 or 200!!

Does anyone know the circumference difference between a 190 and a 180?  I love my Rennsport, but circumference was only 78".  

Dennis, isn't any ZR rated tyre good enough for 250mph?  The Shinko is ZR rated isn't it?  I thought so.  I'll have to go to the shop tomorrow and look at one.

If I remember correctly Z rated tires are up 199-nothing currently  rated any higher.When I was talking to tire reps about sponsorship for running at Bonneville I was asked specifically how fast was the class record I was going for.If it had been over 199 they(Avon) would not have sponsored me.

Dennis, try the BT-012's. They are a bit softer compound than the 56 and 010's. A little better traction.
