You can stick your fingernail straight into the carcass and leave a mark. The softest tyres I've used besides the slicks. I've also read that guys are only getting 2700kms out of them.<br />Heh yes they do use all of there engines, but I don't envy them I couldn't go back to a smaller bike again. The power is addictive.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-72456441541537259922015-08-20T11:29:18.087+10:002015-08-20T11:29:18.087+10:00That's some soft rubber.

I cannot imagine what the grip level must be like considering how much tyres have advanced from when I was riding a sports bike.<br /><br />One thing I envy about guys on the smaller bikes is they get to use all their engines quite often which I think would be very satisfying. I rarely have the opportunity to use the power available.

Its going to be a pain in the arse if you need to drag a fuel tanker around behind you to go for a ride.Flyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304812333120293988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-21895913838412648642015-07-27T00:44:32.790+10:002015-07-27T00:44:32.790+10:00A beautiful day for the middle of winter.

Hope you get more than 2k out of them though. Damn expensive hobby we have.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
