Going to take both rims in next week for new tires. What ones should I get ? Not a restored bike just a rider.
Thnx.

Enjoy the ride

Get the same ones in your avatar . Those look like they've worn well. ;D

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Round and black, with tubes that hold air.
Before you yell at me for being rude, type "tire" or "tyre" into that little search box in the upper right corner of the screen....you'll find enough info to gag an elephant.  ;)

For a rider Id recommend Bridgestone Battleaxe BT45s - best tire for the 750 in my opinion - I have them on both my K2 and K2. Very sticky, great for corners and track very well on grooved pavement/highway and work well in the wet. Hard to beat for an all-rounder.

good luck and nice bike!
cheers

I have the BT-45's on my CBX and they're good tires, but on the CB750, I'd suggest sticking with classic inch-size tires.  Conti still makes the Twins in the exact stock sizes.

I really like the Avon roadriders on these old CB's. Look great, and handle beautifully. Little  pricey, but worth it IMO.
No.
