Can you get Avon AM26s there? They are very hard to beat overall.

Yes, and I agree, great tire.  However, not a vintage tread. I have them on my Z1....




The old Z1-900 is one of the best looking bikes ever made!!

Agreed PeWe!  You should come by for a ride...after this virus thing blows away, of course.

Used to use the  Avon Roadrunners back in the day, as was mentioned, they tended to let go early but in a very controlled manner, went well with the wallow of the frame when pushed.
Have BT45 now and highly recommend them.

Thanks for all the feedback!!! Think I’ll either go for the Avon’s or the demons. Will do some price matching and see what I get.
