They r different tyres for different riding. Hard to compare.   023 is a sport tourer. Harder compound longer life. The diablo is a sport tyre.  Softer etc etc. i dont ride in the wet so for me perfect. 3000 miles of bliss and counting :-)



Yeah, tyres are definitely a personal thing, i'm on the bike 5 to 7 days every week regardless of weather so longevity and wet grip combined is of great importance to me.

Im using Dunlop road smart here in the rainy land, find them good in the wet. The bike had old bridgestones on it when I got the bike not great in the rain. I find the road smarts heat up quickly and I have 3000 miles on them wearing well.

What's the breaking power like on the FZ1 compared to the FZS600? I figure if the rear brake is significantly more powerful it might well out-perform the tyre

I'd have thought that'd the case for pretty much any rear tyre in the wet though with a half decent brake, I can lock up the rear in the dry easily enough!
