They're cheap Steve, just like the guys who buy them...... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I just put a set of 712's on my bike for the trip. This is the 2nd time I have bought them.

haven't used them on the Honda but due to the limited range available for the Vmax (rear 15") I went with a stinko and its a great match for the radial Dunlop on the front. sticks way better than the dunlops or avon I have had in the past, its got a much better profile too
it didn't hurt in the slightest that it was a better price than the dunlops I used to get at importer cost
i blame Terry

You can't beat the street legal tyre for drag racing.
They might be cheap as Terry says but the results speak for themselves.
My boy has been using them on his 750 GSXR for 3 years now.
He won our 10.10 class club championship in his first year of racing.
He then moved up to the 9.5 class at Santa Pod and has been a very close runner up for two years.
This year he is leading that championship by miles and can't be beaten.
He is also leading the ACU British Championship with just two rounds to go despite missing a round.

Not to bad Scun my old mate, but with old age trying to take over and only half a brain working, it's hard going at times.
None of us are getting any younger, hahaha.

That's great Sammy, well done to you and your rider, just imagine how fast that thing could go with decent tyres on it! ;D

Well at your age be careful going to sleep Sammy, and don't go towards the light! ;D
