    So what do you think?

    Do you think the skid pictured belongs to the bike?

    I think it's too wide to be a bike tyre but there is only one skid mark in the full picture. Maybe just coincidence where he's parked the bike.

    not from the bike. sides of the skid lne are too clean to be made by the convex structure of a motorcycle tyre

    Bike skid marks are usually about half that width. A big cruiser could leave a patch like that but a sports bike wouldn't.

    My mate and I were having a lil debate over it thats all, I thought it was too wide to be the bike tyre as well.

    Would be silly to do a skid and include it in the pics you put up to sell the bike!

    Buy the one with Ohlins. I love mine, totally changed the ride. Make sure they are tuned to your weight though.
