Will new tyres transform my Speed Twin? - Michelin Road 6 Review

[@julianhj]

The Road 6 are absolutely awesome.

[@DookeyRidr]

I wholeheartedly 2nd THIS. I’m a seasoned rider (36 years riding exp) and I recently switched to Road 6’s on my 2019 Super Duke. It literally revolutionized the riding experience. Crackin’ tyre. Also, check out anecdotal reports of the longevity of these… some are reporting averages of 8-12K miles.

[@MarkATaylor]

@@DookeyRidrAnd I wholeheartedly 3rd it, just got a second set on my GS. Got 8k out of my last set and they still had a bit of life in them but off to Germany and I think yo need 1.6mm - the back was on that in the middle. Fab tyres

[@DookeyRidr]

@@MarkATaylor I can only imagine how awesome the GS would handle on these tyres.

[@ricatiman]

I suggest you visit a suspension specialist. I had just started track days on my Ducati Monster S2R1000, and quickly realized I needed new tires. So I had a pair of top Pirellis fitted and it made a huge difference, a very big improvement. Then I went to the racers favorite suspension tuner, who fitted "gold valves" and new springs to the fork, and new springs to the rear shock. That was a revelation - and at least as big an improvement as the tires had been the week before. I could drop down inside other riders all over the track. On road riding did get stiffer, by maybe a third. But, I had been looking for track performance. The tuner can set you up with smooth handling with the correct sag for better handling. Go to the specialist.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I am thinking about that....

[@Fr99763]

You live in a lovely region, everyone drives slowly and respectfully. You and your Speedtwin engine are absolutely stress free… That’s nice

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Generally speaking you are right! Thanks for watching!

[@mattkierce3871]

Hey Mr Flyer, I could actually hear that sweet twin quite nicely in the background. The mic just lets in enough background noise. Perfect sound mix. Love the scenery around these old English villages. I would love to drop into the Queens Head for a pint.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Delighted to hear that Matt!

[@garyhope0103]

Lovely little extra video, on what is very quickly becoming my new favourite bike. Just love the burbling sound from the exhaust, which is audible enough on your videos. Also pleased to hear that you still go on trips/rides just for yourself too. As much as I enjoy your filming, you need to relax and have some 'you' time.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you!

[@jerloper]

I just wanted to say I just got a 2024 Bonneville T120 Stealth edition in the blue. Finally got my dream bike. Looking forward to many happy years with it.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Congratulations and enjoy!

It's Alan Turing, played by Benedict Cumberbatch 😉. Sorry to hear about your shoulder, fingers crossed it gets sorted sooner rather than later! The exhaust has a lovely burble when you're pootling around town, love to hear it!

[@AJSpinDrift]

Love the Speed Twin, it's such a good looking bike. Nice to see it getting some love.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

Fitted road 6’s on my current 2023 triumph Street RS… glad I did. So much better in the rain and i don’t feel like I’m loosing out on the Supercorsas in the dry either. Excellent tires!

[@mickthemaverick5998]

Excellent little bonus video there Andy, thanks. I do have to say having 'sat' on the Triumph and listened to that beautiful background burble why on earth do you need any other bike, excluding Goldie of course, for pottering around on? It is a gem and think of the garage space and insurance savings you could make by trimming those unnecessary luxurious hangers on that you house!! 🙂🙃🙂😂

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

That thought does cross my mind from time to time!

[@edtxw01]

I fitted Road 6's to my Triumph Speed Twin two months ago, 3,000 miles later they have transformed the bike. Where previously when fitted with the OEM Metzeler Racetec RR K3's the ride was harsh and uncomfortable, also scary in the wet, it is now far more comfortable and the Road 6's give great confidence on all roads in all conditions. I also have the Road 6's on a BMW R1250GS and longevity is supurb; they have covered 10,000 miles mostly touring with pillion and luggage and the front tyre still has 2mm and the rear the best part of 5mm remaining. Enjoy the new tyres.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow that's some longevity!

[@nickrider5220]

I've had a lot of tyres on my bikes over 43 years of road riding. The change to a new profile is always noticeable, the tip in is always different and normally very much for the better !

[@pauljordan7249]

Hi Andy great bonus video, you mentioned getting your suspension upgraded by a specialist, that’s what I did with my street triple r, I used MCT a very well known suspension specialist with a very well deserved reputation for great work down here in suffolk, it made such a big difference to my bike

[@simonthomas5367]

Morning TMF! I've had Road 4's and 5's on several bikes. Excellent all-round tyres, especially in the wet. Not hardcore twisties tyres but extremely good on B-roads if you want to have fun. I've heard the 6's are predictably excellent!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I agree!

[@MrOtiuqsoM]

The Road 6's were absolutely fine even on a trackday on my Street Triple, though the sessions were only 20 mins long per group.

[@redleadervfr-v4906]

Great to see the new Michelin Road 6’s in the Speed Twin I’m sure your handling will be vastly improved. And I had your video on in my car and the Triumph sounded fantastic so you sound kit is working well 👍👍thanks for the video 😊😊

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

My pleasure!

[@jaybloodypurchase8868]

Glad to see you have your mirrors the correct way round 😊

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Always!

[@JohnNewton-ev8ch]

​@@TheMissendenFlyer They look wrong to me...!

[@BigSmellyRangey]

I binned those Michelins on my Zed and went for Pirelli MT60 pretend-knobbly. Relevant, because like you say, tyres can alter a bike. My Zed is a million times better now, and I certainly don't tip-toe as much in the wet. I don't go fast enough to get them too hot, plus the roads where I live are shite. They felt really skatey to me. My mate Pad has a Speed Twin with loud pipes on. Sounds ace. I test rode one before getting my Scrambler 1200, but it felt too small at the time, hence the Scrambler. Keep up the good work. :)

[@ThiefOfNavarre]

Metzeler tourance are also really good pretend off-road tyres. Really sticky and displace loads of water when it's wet. Cope with fire roads and sand well but wouldn't fancy my chances in mud 😅

[@J24.Dragon]

Thanks for another enjoyable video. As an alternative to Ohlins, you might consider rear shocks by YSS. I added them to my '21 Speed Twin 1200, and they improved the ride and handling significantly. The YSS shocks are fully adjustable, look better than the chunky OEM's, and for substantially less money than the Ohlins. If only I could figure out how to include a photo in this comment.

[@robbierolla]

Had to slow down to .25 speed to help my pausing skills; but I got there! Also got these tyers today, could immdeatily feel the difference. Many thanks as always for your work.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well done on the pausing (even though you cheated!!)

[@JimmyHSV]

Neat wee story. Tyre choice is a good one Andy. We have these tyres on our beemer and they do everything well. On a side note we recently purchased a couple of TMF neck tubes which are now proudly displayed cruising round Christchurch New Zealand. Cheers Jimmy

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Excellent news!

[@briansummers5389]

Good review, thinking of putting these tyres soon on my speed twin 900

[@marwanabouljoud2411]

Thanks for sharing. Have the speed twin 2023 and replaced rear shocks with Nitrons and transformed the bike handling. Also added Ohlins steering damper and this also tightened the bike handling. Have another 1-2k for the tires. Have the MR6 on my other bike, amazing handling especially on various weather. Cheers

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for the info!

[@chriscarbaugh3936]

I sent my Speed Twin to Brooks for a full Nitron set up! Never looked back 👍 Shocks and fork internals

[@chargerguy1973]

The little ones looking around 10 mins... I think the seed's been planted in the mind of the lad at the front! Lovely sounding bike, and I'm taking note of those tires - I live in a place where the storms can pop pretty quickly and quite severely at certain times of year.

[@roadwarrior8560]

Brilliant tyres, mileage and grip in all conditions is outstanding.

[@stuipooey1]

Good choice Andy. I am just about to fit my 7th set. The GS eats tyres so I have my local tyre fitter on speed dial. I also put a pair on my Thruxton and they are a better all round tyre for it than the OEM tyres that did not like the wet.

[@neillambton4065]

Thanks for the heads Andy, I'm going to need new tyres on my Speed Twin soon, and I've been considering either Michelin Road 6s, or Dunlop Mutants, so to hear your comments on the Road 6s is very confidence inspiring.

[@mathiashammar1]

Isn't it Metzler racetec-RR K3 stock on Speed Twin as OEM nowdays ?

[@onaroad4505]

Love your vlog ….Ha very interesting !! I’ve got a 2020 speed twin had Rosso 3 s on mine too and just changed to road 6 at 4250 miles what an amazing difference The issue with the old tyres was the bike just didn’t want to turn in on corners ( it never used to Be like this ) I am sure after 4 years they go a bit hard and combined with wear feathering on the front plus a slight step!! Plus a slight flat on the back one I was beginning to think it was a suspension issue I love my Triumph it’s a keep bike … just sold my Ducati Multistrada V2S after 2 years 6750 miles loved it but replaced it with new S1000XR I have only done 100 miles on it just an amazing bike to ride keep up the good work hope the shoulder gets better soon , Ash

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Ash - much appreciated!

[@tomandriello3575]

I own the same Speed Twin, including color of your bike. I just had Nitron rear shocks installed and a new rear Pirelli IV tire as well as throttle spacer and DNA oil bath air filter with snorkel removed. It now feels like a much better bike. Nitron shocks transformed the handling. I'm a happy biker!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sounds great!

[@noonrock4]

I too have the same bike and color. I installed Nitron upgrades both front and rear. Huge improvement on the front, less improvement on the rear. No more exaggerated brake dive. Highly recommended. Installation of the new front cartridges was challenging though because removing the old ones was very difficult.

[@mikegreen6113]

Got the 6’s GT on my new Tracer 7 GT, what a great tyre they are. Mostly ridden in the dry except when returning to South Devon from Buxton where we were based for 4 nights, it tipped it down. Really confidence inspiring tyres and after 2,000 miles absolutely no sign of any wear, will replace them with the same when the time comes. Love the exhaust note on your bike.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers - me too 😉

[@Editsjidanger]

I am thinking about buying a speed twin, they look great.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

[@bigal5895]

As you maybe aware Nitron do fork internals and rear shocks for the 1200 Speed Twin. Just fitted Road 6's to my Multistrada V4S. Can't wait to try them out!

[@noonrock4]

I have installed Nitrons both front and rear on my 2019 Speed Twin. Greatly improved front end performance (significantly reduced nose dive from braking) and feels more planted and confident in the corners.

[@Ianjeffery2500]

Changed my front and rear suspension on my 2020 Speed Twin to Nitron. Completely transformed the bike and the service from Nitron was impeccable.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes they get rave reviews don't they....will look into them....

[@GPR111]

Tyres change shape as they wear on bikes, so yes - new tyres can make a huge difference to feel even if not in outright grip. I usually change because a flat or step has formed even though tread is still relatively good

[@MrTipusss]

I currently have the Road 5s and love them! They are a huge improvement on the Rosso III's I had previously. Can't wait to try the 6s when mine wear out.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Totally agree!

@@Bryan11210 unfortunately I crashed my bike recently, but while it was in the repair shop (insurance) I asked them to fit my upgraded suspension while they did the other work. They (4 Dimension, Woking) did an excellent job on the repairs and fitting of suspension parts. They charged me £210 plus VAT.

Nice one TMF , thinking of changing my 701 for speed twin , so I can travel a bit further , if I have set of tyres on my bike and they feel good I tend to keep the same make each time I change , but tyres are all a lot better since the days of the o.e. Tyres being pretty rubbish most are plenty good enough nowadays , once they start squaring off its defo soon time for a change . The bike sounds great by the way .👍👍

The OEM pirellis on my mid 2019 Speed Twin lasted until late 2023 , with about 5,500 miles on the clock . I got some Metzler Roadtec SE01. MCN's Neevesy raved about them ! Since I knew naff all about tyres, I got them . They seem okay. I guess I'm talentless, or maybe just don't ride enough bikes often enough, they seem to handle very similar to the OEM pirellis !

I came up to my first corner and these tyres just tipped in and wanted to turn so nicely, it was such a strange feeling compared to my car tyre BT-023's. It's strange when you say they didn't feel like they were tipping in? Mine feel like they want to corner for you.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes indeed, lovely sound! Is the exhaust just standard with Vance and Hines or have you done a decat? Keep up the good work.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It’s had the decat….

[@TheScortUK]

The Road 6 has a much smoother steering feel imo, but if coming from something that tips easily, they do initially feel like they're flat/riding through a ditch. Found this exact feeling when I went from M9RRs to the Road 6 on my S1000R - but a few rides and I was dialed in. Love the Road 6 though, they are imo the best road tyre in the went - I've been able to apply the same hard braking on a set of M50s in the wet, as in the dry

[@MsDenver2]

Good idea to upgrade your suspension, I heard that progressive springs are very good, Road 6 good choice 👍🏍️. My shoulder is still painful, just bought a DNA filter for my Classic 350 , did about 60 miles yesterday , went to a bikers cafe just outside Bridgenorth great bunch they encouraged me as that’s was the furthest I had ridden . Also fitted a heel and toe gear changer, a lot better changing gear. Something I find hard is the weight of the gear I wear, it’s so heavy lol.

Thanks Mr. Flyer. Your Speed Twin is looking and sounding lovely.

[@Sergio_Math]

In my case, I bought TKC70s thinking on-road performance would suffer compared to the Pirelli Phantom Comps I had before, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found that the Contis were better both on and off-road. In my case, it was definitely not in my head!

[@Trevster65]

Riding in the dry on road most tyres will work well, when it’s wet tread pattern and hardness of rubber make a difference. Should say I’m yet to find a tyre that cope with white lines or road paint in the wet yet.
