TYRES - which suit the Gen 1 Thou for hitting the back roads.......

[AyJay]

As an aside I don't ride in the wet so can't comment on handling in poor weather conditions, but for a tyre with Storm in it's name I wouldn't think they'd be too bad.

Funny you should say that, I wore out two sets Storm Ultra 2s on my ZZR1400 and they were lethal in the wet. Utterly lethal. The slightest throttle over a white line at low speed and it was spinning up. Scared me every time I went out on it. Just put 023s on it and they grip like they should. The Storms were amazingly long lived though. 8500 miles. And they were fine in the dry.
