Wow, that's really something! Instant 1970's MV nostalgia. I don't mind liquid-cooled bikes, but to me, that 800cc-triple just doesn't fit the cool retro vibe of the bike. But I agree, I hope to see the bike introduced on these shores.
At a minimum, let's hope Metzeler makes a tire fitment for our CB's:
Stunning wire wheels by JoNich Wheels come in 2.50-18-inch front and 4.00-18-inch rear rim sizes and are shod with the latest 110-80/18 and 160/60-18 Racetec RRK1 high-performance radials that Metzeler has created to respond to the growing demand of old-timer enthusiasts.

They do, don’t they? https://www.metzeler.com/en-us/products/tires/roadtec-z8-interact
Django had them on his CB1100. http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6101

Yes, the Roadtec Z8 sport-touring tire. I tried them on my F800GT and wasn't impressed. I was referring instead to the new "Racetec RRK1" fitted on the MV. I get encouraged when I hear about new tire models offered in 18" sizes.

You caused me my head scratching....in front I now have 110 Dunlop due to Michelin N/A, (PR3/160 in rear), but when front is gone by the end of 2019 , I may use Metzler if Michelin PR3-4 is N/A in 18"
...and bigsheep, thanks for this info, there is always space for the 2-d bike in my garage

LongRanger, looks like the Racetec tyres come in the same sizes as the PR3s many of us run, https://www.metzeler.com/en-ww/products/tyres/racetec-rr
It means being prepared to run a 160/60 on the rear. I’m on my 3rd set of PR3s with that size on the rear.
RE: Oh baby! I hope this comes here and fast... - LongRanger_imp - 11-01-2018
Thanks Cormanus. I didn't bother to check the sizes. Nice to have another option for our bikes!
RE: Oh baby! I hope this comes here and fast... - Cormanus - 11-01-2018
It is. Particularly as the PR3 disappears periodically. The Pirelli Angel GT also fits although, again, one has to have a 160/60 rear.
