I think its a good idea for people that do a lot of riding, specially long trips full of bends. Not learners who have not ridden yet

No i agree with u
but at the same time, i plan on getting the tyres on when i buy it so when its ready to be picked up its all done so i don't have to be without the bike. So diablo rossos is what everyone likes?

If you just riding around local stock tyres are fine
The Pirelli Diablo Rosso II are designed for a purpose
They will stick alot better then factory but also wont last as long as factory tyres.
The shape if different to so as you start to corner it drops you into the corner to make corning easier and gives you more rubber on the road .
so it depends on what sort of riding your doing

People are not going to look at your tires, they will look at the whole bike and be like... oh damn I want me one of them secsi beasts. You can always take the bike into a shop and get tires fitted a few months or so after you have started riding and feel like maybe its time for some bad ass tires?

If you want a mean tyre paint an angry face on your ones
these ride totally different to stock they make the bike very easy to flick into corners.
If you want them because they look mean they might not suit you.
shame your not coming sunday you could have a look and you will see the difference in shape

Keep the stockers on for the first couple thousand k's to get an idea of what kind of riding you want to do, then go from there.

Pretty sure they don't come in stock size! But if your looking to go bigger then that's a choice you need to make!

Which specific Michelin Power?
Had a quick look and couldn't find any that come in stock size.

Cool! Thanks for pointing that out!
What are you looking to get out of your tyres? These look like long wearing harder compound! Most people here looking to get more sports oriented tyres for increased grip!
If looking for a long life tyre why not keep the stock! Or have you worn a set out?

Mate pretty sure were all l and p platers here chatting in nsw section and none of us would have experience with this tyre! Maybe put up a post in parts and mods!
