Dunlops? yes i got some cheap ones as well - nowhere near the nice planted feel of the Battlaxes. 020's or 010's have been my faves

So how've they been? or are you still running the Dunlops?

still on the same set ,ive been driving to work now(carrying tools) so i havent clocked up much on the bike but did take it to the track recently and found pushing real hard they slip a bit but still excellent for the road. i bought a track bike now (vfr 400) so if i see another cheap set of dunlops ($100 a set for the last ones) i'd do it again but if i have to pay new prices for tyres when the time comes i'll try the bridgestones and hit the track again for some torque twisting track time instead of revvin the hell out of the honda :twisted:
