I got the bike 3/18/13. I have approx 5600 miles. Going to
NM next week, should break 7K before I get home...
Be glad your bike came with Bridgestones. My rear Dunlop
was toast at 4K (put a 170/50/R18 BT45 on) and my frt
will be histroy in about a thousand miles (at 5600 now).
Make sure the tires you get are radials. Bias ply tires will
spoil the handling. Bias ply stength in sidewall. Radial tire
has strength in riding surface and sidewall is suspension.
Suspension on CB1100 designed for radials and they are
much more expensive regreatably (my rear over $200 in-
stalled on the bike). Stock sizes only come from Honda.
