Getting new motorcycle tires for the gixxer!


Got my order in for a new pair of skins to shod the 600 with. Was going to get a set of BT016 for the bike but wound up with a pair of BT021's. They should last longer and I will be doing a lot of commuting on the bike this year so it is probably better off to have the harder compound tires and keep the pesky flat spot from occurring so quickly again and again!
Not sure how long the new tires will last but I would make them a lot longer if I find a spare set of rims to go on it for taking it to the track or just for those days and trips when you know you'll be hitting the twisties hard core! A good spare rims set might be a few hundred but would sure speed up the maintenance aspect when changing tires!
