I had a good run with the BT45s, particularly wear, but they do exhibit bias ply characteristics. I preferred them to the D205s that were fitted on delivery. The Hay Plains flattened my rear tyre off so time for a change. Am now reading the "On the fence" tyre thread. Worse than oil threads!!

"Special order" means freight, $50. Probably from Brisbane.


ROFL hardly

Fact is, the manufacture has very highly educated engineers. The very highly educated engineers design the bike. The very highly educated engineers who designed the bike, specify which tires we should run on the bike they designed

BUT... we know better.........

You're right..it IS like an oil thread. Rolleyes
