I have just tried a dual compound tyre last - conti motion - which handles real fine but flattened out on the rear after about 2K and nackered by 2200. Most tyres on Buells last me less than 2K - and I am not a wheelie-burn out merchant.

Fancy going back to a more trail tyre and the conti trail attack gets good report - came out best in a German dual sport bike tyre test - anyone got experience of how long they last
