Re: A Tire Thread

Thanks for all the feedback, I'm going to give the BT45s a try.

Re: A Tire Thread

Are the Spitfires considered touring tires? I love 'em. If they are, just ignore this post. :lol: They are listed under Sport on swmototires.com "...for touring oriented riders who also enjoy a sporty ride." Guessing I'll end up going back to them, but wondering if they is anything new ou...

Interesting Oil Seep btwn Tranny & Engine
