errr no! Unless they're the RR or GP version (I have never used them but never will for fear of the entire overpriced Dunlop brand), the standard D207's are the crappiest tyre I have ever had the misfortune to use. The suzuki marketer that decided to put 207u's on the 03 G6's (cruisers maybe but track bikes!?) should be beaten with a spade...repeatedly...till it really hurts... and they repent and put Pirellis on!

weee... I love ranting

Hey ranty-boy! i think the std 207s fitted to our bikes are Canadian spec tyres made for use in Canadia (wherever that is?).

I had NZ spec 207s on my GSXR750X and they were primo.

And haven't you just purchased a half shagged Metzeler *shhhhhh*

oh well, maybe NZ does get different tyres.. .but I sure feel sorry for the canadians!

yeah I did... but I've yet to hear anyone moan about rennsports as I do about 207s

Yep but only on a roundabout so I could have the bragging rights-and finally you have given me a forum with which to brag Blah blah blah.....some good advice from one who knows- make sure you do it in something better than jeans!!!. :confused2

ah yes, I once got my knee down...

it was the middle of winter in chch and after a hard nightshift at 8:00 am i was going home from work.. this was back in the day when i had an srx250 and not a tonne of experience. i was turning of fitzgerald ave on to morhouse ave caught the lights just right. Anyways the road was looking a bit wet but what the hey a little water never fussed me much. i was halfway round the corner when i thought for a split sec, cool kneedown then arsedown then oh f!. yes there was ice on the road. rush hour too. good thing i could hide my shame inside my helmet.

**aff-man** · 2nd September 2004, 11:21

nope never have. But then again due to not haveing sliders i kinda tuck my knee up as close against the fairing as possible. Looking to get some pants with sliders at the moment. (well when i get some cash) and then i suppose if i had the knee out onstead of tucking it in i might be able to get it down

**Sparky Bills** · 7th September 2004, 20:39

I can get knee down on both road and track.
But usually only try on the track. I have Sparking toe sliders too (hense the name). It looks Cool with sparks flying out from the bike while on full lean dragging my knee!

I love wearing shit out!! :cool2:

**Kwaka-Kid** · 7th September 2004, 23:57

haha lucky for some!

my knee sliders are shiney

i like em like that.

Managed to get both pegs scrapping at the weekend before I got everything scraping at once

I think I'll get some cheap 'n' nasty skateboard knee pads and put them over my fabric suit if / when I get back on the bike to see if I can get my knee down.
