Andrea, calmo
There are no original size tires and probably never will be again.
Search this and the 750 forum any you´ll find many tire topics.
Alternatives are 130/70-16 front and 150/80-16 or 180/60-16 rear, nothing else.

angelix, don`t. You don`t really want to tell someone who´s desperate to ride to buy a tire that`s 6 or 7 years old. If someone wants to buy it as decoration it´s a different story

Yeah , the plan was to probly have used em all by now but nearly getting myself killed put a bit of a dampner on that , still cant bend my leg far enough to sit on the paso for more than a couple of mins  , which is why I have been reduced to riding the Guzzi ( at least I can buy tires for it  ) and anyhow I dont buy into this bullshit about rubber "going off" overnight ( goes in the same box as the cam belt hysteria/paranoya ). When I removed the ally foil and plastic wrap off these tires I noted they still smelled of rubber and a re every bit as soft as the new shinkos fitted to the Guzzi ( you can see where I finnished off the rear ..... got in heaps of shit for that .... stunk the whole house out  ). And as for being a waste of money, I have turned down offers for 1 pair that exceeded what I paid for the whole lot, and I will probly wind up selling some of them to some guy that needs the "correct " tires for his early 851 , or sport , paso whatever, you probly wont see to many classic italian sports cars on yokohama's.However , I would agree that , given the age of the design and probly materials too these tires wouldnt be my 1st choice for a lap record attempt,but I will use them for riding round on my paso till I have used all but 1 set or I get round to doing the 17 inch thing....... AND If I wanted to get all anal about it I might point out that fitting the wrong sized tyres ( trimmed sidewalls , lenghtened wheelbase and all that ) to a bike made to run fat little tires aint so smart either ..... ..... IMHO.........

Apparently, the view from down under brings a different perspective. Hope you find the most appropriate use for those museum donuts. Cheers, |

Hi Guys, It will be some time before McTool is back on any bike. His leg broke yesterday (Sunday) so he is back in hospital. Seems that the rod/pin/bone in his femur broke and he will be there for a least a week while a solution is sorted. Will advise any progress when I hear some. Cheers, Fraser. |
