I've seen that ad - anyone care to compare an experience with a 209 front to a 211? I've only run 211's.

I'm guessing it's not quite as good as the 211, but I know there are plenty of riders out there that have gone faster on the 209 front than I'm capable of going on any tire...

I'm sure it's more tire than any of us need (goes without saying  ) What sort of wear did you get out of it? _________________ Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς www.WickedRacing.com - Go Fast Parts & Gear for Riders and Their Motorcycles PM me for "TrackWhore" special discounts

How many days did you get? I've managed to get 4 or 5 out of a 211 front.

I actually still have a couple 209 take offs in the garage that look like they could go a few more track days no problem. I don't think you'll have any trouble getting 4-5 or more days out of a 209 front. How much are you paying for the 211 front/rear combo?

I think I'm paying around $375 for 211's - this seems like a deal so long as the front holds up close to the way a 211 does.
