New Tires on Operation SV2!

Picked up some new tires for the project bike. Went with Bridgestone Battlax S22's due to super great reviews both online and from other riders. They're a hypersport tire, so certainly more grip than I'll use in the foreseeable future, but MotoMummy had a killer sale on a pair, and Bridgestone is doing a mail-in rebate (at the time of this video's publishing) making them $250 including mounting and 90* valve stems. Can't wait to put some miles on them!

I've talked to a couple of guys at the track ( track day) and they said that the S22 are great for occasional track use. Super sticky and warm up quick I've been running the Dunlop Q3 + on my 17' SV and they are more than enough for me at the track. I think they are both equal in performance at the track and longevity on the street. Can't wait to see your vids with the bike on the street. Awesome build! Ride safe Sir!

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the bike! I'd read excellent things about both the Q3 and the S22, just got a great deal on the S22's with Motomummy here in Austin, and they were highly recommended by the guys I know who track. I really want to get on the track this year (once everything starts back up), looking forward to pushing some limits. Stay safe and healthy!

How have you liked the s22's so far? I just ordered a new set the other day after reading a bunch of reviews on them and seeing the awesome deal motomummy had on them.

I'd heard amazing things from my friends here in town that track. I've only put a handful of miles on them so far, but I can definitely feel a difference. Even on this 650 I'd break traction pulling hard away from a stoplight and the back end would fishtail a bit. These feel fully planted in corners and pulling hard away from a stop. Looking forward to getting more experience with them. And yes, the deal at MotoMummy, especially with the current mail-in rebate, was too good to pass up. I've got half a mind to pick up a second set for when I thrash these!

Drew cool thanks can’t wait to get my set! And yeah between their price and the rebate its crazy, only around $170 for a set of top of the line tires
