No, but cool name! You use different fronts and rears?

Chains on the right side isn't very common, is it?

Threw me off with your hints for it not being European since they say there it's made in the UK, and for you not having something in the class or have you sold the BMW? I like how it looks from the rear, it's a nice clean rear fender with proper lights. Pretty wheels too. Edit: they say it's designed in the UK, so BSA is Indian?

Do brit bikes count as not European?

Buell Blast?

Ducati SS, that's my guess

What a way to start a song!

Sportsbike, a Ducati?

Ordered both the E07+ Dakar front and rear. I'm curious to try them now, as people comment it's way less noisy than the K60, which I found noisy.
-
Were you both waiting for me to order them before coming up with defects?
-
As long as they seal properly, I'll get a machine to fit them so not too worried. Being really hard is what attracts me to them as the chances of problems go way down. Mustn't be harder than the Heidenau K60 I used before.

Ordered a set of E07+ Dakar, ordered them online despite my dislike for online shops, but the Mitas importer said they didn't have a front and didn't know if they'd get one before September. To top it up they were 50€ more expensive on the rear tire alone, let's see if the online stock is true. The normal E07 is apparently a very good tire but not available for my sizes, the E07+ is supposedly nice but some people don't get much miles out of them, I like the comfort of having a really resistant tire to protect my wheels so there's that.

I'm ordering the E07 + Dakar tomorrow, calling a guy first to see if he managed to get the MotoZ or not, probably not, and then ordering. I'm going to like getting some less gay tires back on my bike. Will also get a rear shock plastic protector, and see if that fits, my bike runs a little taller than normal and as such there's less clearance between the tire and swing arm than on stock bikes. I'll also buy a leg's worth of surf suit and make a neoprene suit for the shock, just in case the plastic protector doesn't work with the more chunky tire. Game on for rocky roads and sliding on roundabouts! All this is just for fitting in mid September, but products have been failing so I'd rather have stuff ready than rushing around last minute.

If whatever tire I get doesn't make a noise I'll stick a whistle to the front forks, @boboneleg, can´t have a gay tire on my way South!

From what I've read they ride pretty much similar to the tire I have been using for two or three changes now on my bike, which is the normal TKC70. All that's different is that mine has got a continuous center band in the read tire instead of the little gaps you have in yours, and that translates to a little less traction offroad and a little more tire life overall. They're great tires, my absolute favourite road tire ever and I love them, but a little too soft for killer rocks and I'm either going to go with those or something harder and rock proof.

I can and did, but don't really want to. However, the worst tyre I had for tire noise was the original tire that came with my GS, the Michelin Anakee 3, it's made in trail sizes but its a road tire, it's complete shit though. At least with the Heidenau K60 the road noise was a trade with a tough as nails tire that lasts 10000 miles, with the anakee 3 it was all complete shit!
