Yes, there's no real need for EBC, Carbon Lorraine etc unless for track use and again, the Honda ones perform just a well.

I ran Carbon Lorraines on my K5 GSX-R and they didn't last any more than 3500 miles, but that did include a trip to the Nurburgring and a 'spirited' ride around the Eiffel mountains and Cochem. My 'Blade now runs Honda pads and they are more than capable to stop you from speed that would see you do time, really quickly and are showing little signs of wear and they've gone about 3000 miles now. I'll be sticking with Honda pads from now on.

I use Nissin pads too, they're the dogs danglees

All ordered. Ta Kris

Good decision

yep always add the cost of new pads tyres and oil to the cost of the ring and back
