Michelin pilots seem to be the popular choice, for the Thunderace.
not particularly cheap, but i really dont think, you should skimp on tyres, for a high performance machine.

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

for spirited riding the Bridgestones are very good but don't last very long, 1200 miles for the rear on the exup, for all round riding I find the michelin pilot roads are great and give great mileage, but you have to be sympathetic

1200 miles for a rear tyre is shocking.
