Not sure how well those knobby tires would grip in a Pattaya downpour tho! 

Also, I imagine bikes like these with manual shifters would be difficult to ride if you are not wearing appropriate footwear - flip flops wouldn't cut it.

Got some pretty wide chicken strips, to be fair it was 4 Deg C and damp, I fitted a new front tyre for MOT test.

What tyres you got on your bike?. Tread pattern looks like Bridgestone.

I fitted a pair of the latest Michelin Road 5 sports tourers a few months ago. Had mismatch tyres on it when I bought it so fitted a pair when the rear needed replacing. Had a Road 4 on the front and Maxxis on the rear.

Not cheap, £350 including fitting. Great tyres though and meant to last really well.

Well spotted, I've been on Bridgestones for 20 years now. Typically the rear needed replacing first so I chose a Bridgestone BT016 as I have given up track days now. The closest match now for the front was BT016 Pro. Cost for both added up to £220 fitted to loose wheels.

Ha ha!, that's what I used to run on my ZX-7R,went through about 4 set's of them. Great for fast road use and last pretty well for sporty tyres. Very cheap as well.
