Not-quite retired Army
Per the BMW shop, the factory just loads on whatever is on the shop floor, so I wouldn't be able to specify Pilot Road 5s or Dunlop K-81Rs... :teeth
The Karoo 3 isn't bad. The shinko 804/805 is decent, but the 804 front is about two steps down from a TKC-80 for steering in loose stuff. I also like the Heidenau K60 Scout, all but the price. I don't actually know what my next set of tires will be for my KTM. Gotta be something good in the dirt and "good enough" on the street.
The TKC-80 or something else?
Not all "dual sport tires" are great off road.
LAB2V starts in 2 days great way to get your feet err dirty. I have seen R1200GSA do LAB2V I heard one's frontend got destroyed.
Trying to figure out why this is relevant... :laughing
I have no idea what my KTM 1090R tops out at, but the tires are only rated for 99. It's a safety issue rather than a power issue.
And you're the best Sweeperbot I've ever ridden with. :thumbupThere's a reason my BARF name (the self-inflicted one, anyway) is Sweeperbot... I generally sweep the rides and try to ensure everybody makes it to the finish line. :thumbup
That means I can't go as fast as I would really want to. :burnout :laughing
Self-limiting makes me focus on my lines, smoothness, etc. When I'm solo, tho... arty :teeth :wave
Thank you, that's very kind.And you're the best Sweeperbot I've ever ridden with. :thumbup
Just be warned that when you start riding dirt roads, the sweeper eats more dust than anybody else.
When you find a dust-free goggle, let me know. At some point it gets hard to see.That's why God invented bandannas, water, and goggles... :teeth
Congrats on the new bike. Are you going with the Kalamata Olive? Gorgeous.
