Bad if you swallow one.

Which motorcycle? Front or Rear? Size?

Rear tire.

Black, check.
Circular, check.
Conclusion: ideal for the job

I can never find tyres in black check.

Keep looking you're bound to find them eventually.
Maybe have a look round the back of the tartan paint store.

I am using these right now. Prior to these I was using first gen Pirelli Diablos. I like them but if I had to do it all over again I wish I had just stuck to the Diablos which are now replaced by the Rosso Diablos. That extra grip is noticeable upon deep leans and overall that great sporty feel is worth the extra costs. The Angels are cheaper than the Diablos.

But if you a conserative rider or strictly commute the Angels are fine. For fun get the Diablos.

I am very eager to go back to the Diablos.

Which lasts longer in normal riding ??

Michelin CityGrip

Do they come in factory specified size..140 70 13 thx . I am a believer in sticking to what the bike was designed for.I understand that many will upgrade to different sizes but I am of the old school and don't like to go outside the lines when it comes to engineering specifications.After all, they did all the calculating, testing, and work so why not use their results I figure.

My rear Diablo lasted around 7500 miles, I think I can get an easy 10k out of the Angels.

Neither the Angels or City Grip come in 140 70 13 for the rear.
Based on what I have read here other riders have gone up in size no problems.

No, you have to go one size up but I also have about 80,000 km that says they work OK.

I have worn out several sets of CityGrips.

The difference in size is very small.

The Forza was designed for only ScootSmart tires so Pirelli's are against your engineering guidelines. ScootSmarts are hard to get here in Canada.

I currently have 123,235 km (76575 miles) on my Forza 300 and have Heidenau K66 tires on leftover from my trip to Dawson City, Yukon. The K66 are a mild off-road tire.

I ride gravel on the Forza sometimes. The CityGrips work on gravel but the K66 are better.

It was snowing yesterday but today is warmer with heavy rain. There is no sun forecast till next year.

The tires are almost always better than the rider. And the people who are better than the tires almost never pay for their own tires.

You can get used to anything and ride accordingly. Truly bad tires go out of business quickly. Truly bad riders blame their tires. Really, really bad riders either quit or die.

I am a bad rider who just keeps going and going. Hearing impaired, depth perception impaired, brain damaged and too short. Intelligent but forever doing stupid things. Poor. Get out of my way.

So you took the plunge with the Angels?

According to Revzilla they do come in 140 70 13 as HONDA factory specifies.. I will probably get them as they are available and fairly cheap all considered.

I had an accident on my Forza a month ago, I know its me and not the tires. I crashed going 50-55 mph on the freeway and the bike survived with only 1125.00 in damages. Its all fixed up now, but I feel the Angels are too hard of a compound for my riding needs and I am going to 2nd gen Diablos Rossos. I just placed an order for them and will let you guys know how they compared the Angels.

I used the 1st gen Diablos and loved them. But I wanted to try something else for the hell of it and went with Angels. I clearly did not like them as much as the Diablos no matter how much I tired to convince myself they were similar.
