    I Have these on my NC21 which has a 16in front and 18inch rear.
    Perfectly happy with them, good tyres!

    I used to run a Bridgestone BT090 (rear) on my CBR400 race bike and it was pretty sticky for a road tyre.

    I'm not sure how narrow you can go though.

    Got a 17" Sport Demon on the rear of my bucket. Seems OK so far.

    Interesting find.

    What are the odds of the rubber lasting 15years and still being ok?

    Run a tube, you'll be fine! Probably half the slicks down here have cracking sidewalls if you look close enough.

    Yeah when is that Homo Elliot going to repatronise & come & race that thing? I rode it at Minefield & quite liked it. Should bring it down to Taupo spectacular.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
