hell, i'd hate to see the price tag on a rear that size...more than the price of a bike I suspect

Great cartoon bmz2. I'll wait for my 240 to get worn out though before I try a 280. How is that going by the way? Better/worse??

Im still abit worried about the 280 tyre on standard rim thing. Tell me - does it over hang the rim alot? Heaps are doing it in the states though eh? Have'nt heard of any dramas on the US M109 Forum site yet so cant be all that bad/dangerous...

Just for the odd occasion that the Mrs will be motivated to come for a fang..
They are a pretty good bike 2up. Better than my old VTR thats for sure

Hi wingnut, what are you finding your back like after an hour or more riding that good looking monster.[ I personally would like to change the headlight on the 109 but thats all]

Mate I have had a broken vertibrae in my lower back so I get my fair share of back grief. But as yet have had no problems yet. Couple hours of straight riding and no sore back. Thats why I had to loose my old VTR and get something a bit more comfortable.
The head light thing is definately an aquired taste - I admit! Its still kinda growing on me. I still haven't seen anyone change the front light for the better (personally). :yes:

I think you would find its not as bad as you think. There would be sports bike tyres that would cost more I'm sure - think they cost around $350
