I've only been around the block a few times on her..you can definitely feel a difference in handling in the turns.With the new CT ,completely rebuild rear-end and new dampers , it rides like its somebody elses bike (like Obama gave it to me ) I'm entitled..right ..haha. Can't hardly wait to get some ride time in !!Also put new Kury mirrors and ISO grips on !  |

It looks just like my falken. Love the falken but hate the avon road rider rear tire I have on the front. It has cupped really bad in only 4000 miles. Ill be switching it out with a normal front tire so.on. Thinking about going with a metz.

I don't know how tall you are but i'm using that Falken in 205-65-16. Brings my road R P Ms down a tad and i can still flat foot it at a stop. I'm 6' 2" tall and a 32" inseam just to give you an idea. And zero concerns when i hit the twistys.  RIDE SAFE. |

Thanks for the replies on the brand and size. I'm definitely going dark side with my next change. Just trying to use the searches and come up with a good choice. |

Thanks for the replies on the brand and size. I'm definitely going dark side with my next change. Just trying to use the searches and come up with a good choice. On my I/S the first D/S was a General Altimax in 205-60-16. My second D/S is the Falken Ziex in 205-65-16. I like the Falken more than the General but the differences aren't that much. Can't find the receipt but i believe that the Falken was in the $80.00-$90.00 range. And when you land on the throttle that Falken HOOKS up. RIDE SAFE. |

With the Falken 205/65 16 my speedo shows 70 right at 3000 RPM. The right hiway speed at the right RPM for fuel economy. I get 36-38 MPG when not having too much fun...

Is it an optical illusion or is your license plate light dented? Not nick picking by any means just noticed and was curious..

Well, I got a few dings in my head  It must be the lighting, I saw it and was thinking or imagining how that would've happened. |

It's not dented in, but comes out to a peak. |

That is a good looking tire. I'm gonna go dark after I get all the good out of my E3's. Definitely a better price and payload. I don't see any negatives. Enjoy.
