i read some of the report that it is good for off road , but not so good for conerning on tarmac, but it is good to get multiple orgasm as the vibration can be felt:cheeky: :cheeky:

 

Bro though knobby is good for offroad but it will wear very fast if you are also gonna use the bike for your everyday riding. If lucky maybe a year...or less :angel: Btw where are you gonna ride with the TKC?

any impact on speed, ride comfort with this tyres? thought of having these for my next tyre change.

 

Off-road the TKC80 is the benchmark. On-road it is noisier, and does not run as smoothly as a good road tire. It has a speed limit of 160 kph. This is because of the big profile blocks which would be damaged at high speeds. Additionally there is a price to pay in terms of total mileage.

Yah man. I know that Al Simmons is busy training to be a damn good police man. He was 2007 V-Strom elected Indian Chief who seem to organize everything. Maybe we need a new garung (and not so busy person) to organize get together and day rides together. The last one was quite fun, too bad I stop at Mersing to go Tioman island while the rest carried on. V-Strom community keep changing, don't recognize half of the people liao.....so sad........

mean while if you are looking for trips to north, look out for the thread on one day trip outings in the sbf forum. :)

I get more direct windblast almost like riding a naked bike after gotten used to higher screen. But at least there is less turbulence around the helmet. So far so good for riding at sg roads.
