yeh I figured they were "too much tyre " for the bike if you know what I mean, perfect for just summer blasts but not for general blatting about. I had 207RR's on my zx9r and this was certainly the case too.

Anyway I said no to the GP209's a few weeks back but the guy at 2wheeljunkie is going to phone me with some alternatives so I was hoping for some advice with a tyre that is decent gripwise for dry (mostly ) roads and for spring summer autumn use only. will not be commuted on so not overly fussed about mileage.
