    My has bridgestone 014 what your have the dunlops??
    I was only ride on bridgestone or michelin
    The 014s on the K4 I tested were the best road tyres I've ever ridden on, including Pirelli Diablos.

    The D207s on the K3 are amongst the worst tyres I've ever ridden on although they worked well on my '98 750. Wierd!

    I not pushed the 014s to much yet will do hopeful this weekend, but what i have felt they feel primo, but the 010 we have on our bandit 600 have been great tires.

    That was among my big fears that the 04 would come with dunlops, but it didn't thank god. Even if it did i would make them change the tires, before i would buy it tho.

    a

    I picked my bike up about two weeks ago. The tyres arnt bad grip wise but they have no edge. where the edge normally is its rounded off. having trouble feeling it. maybe its just the lack of weight, or maybe i should just get used to it.

    Most moden sport bike tires don't have an edge, you should be getting ya pegs scraping about same time you hit the edge of the tire.

    Haven't done that yet even with the rear tire on the edge, Yo somehow managed to grind off most of the tip even on a shorter peg though!

    There's one at Moto 1 in Whangarei. Or at least there was a week ago. Didnt check to see if it was BRAND new, but it looked new sitting there in their showroom.

    Those guys dont seem to want to sell anything. I was in there to order in some tyres, I've had to ring them 3 times since to chase them up. Given up now and gone elsewhere.

    Moto 1 are a waste of space (didn't fool me by changing their name from Ridgely's) in Whangarei. Cheapest for bike Tyres in Whangarei are Kamo Motorcycles, otherwise I would recommend getting them from Leading Edge on Barry's Point Rd, Takapuna (AK).

    PS: GDBush, they are ripping up Mangakahia Rd (again) in 2 places before and after Parakao.

    Different brands/models work best on different bikes.Dad swears by metzelers for the old beemers, says nothing else feels right. Conti certainly felt much better than metzelers on my first bike though (not a beemer)
