Hi all,
I have a 2008 FZ1 & am getting ready for my annual euro bike tour, which usually is about 2500 miles.
For the past 4 years I have been using Dunlop Road Smarts as the tyre of choice. I switched to the Road Smart II year before last & didn't really gel with them as much as the original road smarts as not as good feed back in handling but tyre life was exceptional.

[/size]Last year i managed to source a pair of originals & was happy with the handling. but they were the last of stock.
[/size]
[/size]What choice of rubber do all use or what do you give a wide birth to..?
[/size]
[/size]I also use my bike for rest of year in all manner of riding but mainly spirited.
[/size]
[/size]To also add to the equation I was quite ill during my 2012 bike trip when using the road smarts II so may have been influenced by that..
