| lesley,
I had the Hoops to start and then 2 sets of Diablo's, and now I have the Metzlers. I think the Diablo's and Metzlers are much nicer than the Hoops and seem to grip the road better. I only have about 3,000 miles on the Metzlers and think that they are just a bit nicer than the Diablo's. But I will never go back to the Hoops if I can get the Diablo's or Metzlers. Just my opinion though. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| The Diablo and Metzeler are the same, even the design is the same. I read that you are English (UK) has the Metzeler "Wintec" if you use the Silver Wing in the winter.  |
