I always use Bridgestones........... had 010's first then progressed onto 012's ....... always had good grip in all weathers and more importantly get good mileage....010's 7000... yes thats miles per set!
012's have also had 3000 on the rear although now I'll have to get a new one coz its squared off now.
Think its personal choice to be honest......... depends on your riding style and i dare say you'll get plenty of opinions here....good luck!!

Tricky subject tyres, depends on how and how much you ride.
Had macadams on my zzr600 which were pitifull, set of bt56's then bt010's transformed the bike.
Tried bridgestone 010's 012's on my zx6r. both good tyres and thats pretty much the order of stickyness and the reverse order of how long they last.
got Diablo corse's as standard on my Tuono and swapped it for a 014 after 3000 miles, which was a mistake, going back to diablo's, hopefully won't take to long on a big twin.
Could be a good furom for what tyres work on what bikes

Metzlers, will always swear by them...............saved me life once cos of a puncture and the slide, but they gripped still and saved the day...........bit expensive if u use the softer compounds but well worth the money.

Thinking about the Diablos for mine too.... not Corsas just standard.
010's are a pretty good allround tyre.... but as Papaninj say's depends on what you like.... people can suggest anything but if you don't get on with them you won't like the feel!
