This is what the Marketing Director of Pirelli USA thinks of motor-scooter land-speed. I have Pirellis on my Kymco S9, RZ350, two RG250s, Piaggio MP3 and Harley. I also installed Sport Demons on my recently sold RZ500. If they sell them to fools like me, shouldn't they have some interest in supporting them?

Alan,
Thank you for your interest in Pirelli. We are currently not involved in sponsoring land speed records with scooters. If we decide to go in this direction we will contact you. Due to the size of the scooter sales in the U.S. versus a market like Europe or Asia, we don't currently commit to racing efforts with these products.
Regards,
abc
