    GN's aren't crappy!!!
    Mean little bikes that eat gravel for breakfast!

    When I was looking for my GN I got told by LOTS of different sources that the stock front tires were crap, to the point where they got nicknamed 'death sliders'. I bought my GN second hand and it already had a 'Perelli City Demon' on the front and I will defiantly be looking to get the same next time. I still have the stock on the back (nothing wrong with them; I've never been able to lock it up and it's never seemed dangerous) but will get Perelli's when that goes.

    CHANGE THE FRONT FROM STOCK
    It might put you back a hundy or so but its well worth it!

    Ride safe, keep the rubber on the road and dont underestimate the GN because what people say about it!

    Agreed. It seems lots of people get hung up on the capacity thing. We have a few bikes in the shed amongst them a couple of wee commuter hacks. In the real world I enjoy riding my RG150 as much as my GSX750F. You can concentrate on riding it without keeping a constant eye on the speedo.
    Small bikes are fun, if you can get past the ego thing they are more rewarding to ride (on roads) then mega horsepower sprotsbikes. And if more newbies stayed on smaller bikes for longer they probably wouldn't crash the thundergrunters they buy the moment they have a full licence nearly as often.

    GN is awsome bike!! (altho I only rode it few times, hoping to get it to my garage tomorrow)

    Guys at cycletreads told me it would be about $250 for a set.

    They also told me they got Bridgestones.

    I know they are popular for car performance tyres (POTENZA rules!) but what about mortorbike?

    I got new tyre for GN, Front IRC, Rear "Pirelli" City Demon. Total $194.

    I need to get wax off, but guys at cycletreads say it does work far more better than Ching-ching tyre so you should change yours too!!
