I hope this answers some questions for the people who asked did I like these tyres on the CBF :)

Loving all the videos. I've just binged on most of them, and am looking to get a cbf1000 soon. Keep it all coming. Its been good to watch these during another lockdown, makes me feel like was living vicariously through you

These came on my 2021 Z650 and I wanted some info on them. Every mention I found was dated at the most recent 2019. Except for your video. I have a wet ride coming up and I really appreciate the info! Subscribed.

Thanks for helpful review I’ve got a set on my zx9r and really impressed with the grip from them, although I was genuinely surprised with how much grip they offer in the wet I didn’t think they’d be great at all.

1st time. Nice work! Thank you, I just purchased a pair.

Tyres are a very subjective and personal thing. The problem when you try a new set of tyres, you are always impressed because of course they a always going to be better than the ones you took off. I had some species of Dunlop on my Buell and the were excellent, my memory suggests they were "developed" for that bike. I have always loved Metzelers for their grip and feel. I don"t like Michelins because II always feel road noise through them. I will soon be looking for tyres for the Viar. That will be governed by price/availability, as with so much here. Interesting video.

I really haven’t had any issues with the dunlops on my cbr, i have complete confidence in them, but as always go very easy in the wet 😁👍🏼

Ja. I have tried German Beer. Nice accent. I feel for you man. It will end soon man. By the summer I'd say you'll be riding ( I hope). Thanks for the stickers man. I will feature them in a video soon.

Dude great unbiased review of these tires. May I ask what you are using for your camera? Also the lighting in your garage is killer!

Hi.my preferance on tyres are Road 5s rearly good tyre would recommend a try.feel good grip in dry with soft compound on sides also improved hard centre for touring.👍🏍

I got them as factory fitment on my BMW F900R. I was skeptical in the begining, because they are placed as a budget sporty tyre. However I've ridden them from August last year, trough the winter and up to now - 7600km. In my experience they do well on the cold and wet. I've ridded them in -5 and they still grip. The front was good on the brakes and I really had to provoke the ABS to kick in to test the limits. The rear is not so impressive. In the dry and once they warmup they do feel well - the traction control doesn't intervene often even on hard corner exits. In terms of longevity, the rear has maybe around 1500 to 2000km more in it. It's noticeably squared off at this stage. The best thing about them is the price. I can get a 188/55/17 for 104 EUR! There is one leftover at an online shop, and I guesse they want to get rid of it. I will help them and buy it in advance, so I have a reserve after the current one finally expires.

1st time viewing your channel... I really enjoyed the review!!! Stickers???🤣

Thank you my Brother. Hello from America. M7

Eyyyy Yamaha fleece talking about a Honda bike. The only time I ever get my knee down is when it is wet out These reviews are good for your channel. It'll get more people This is not my first time here but still. Hallo Love the accent. Never tried em Yeah I miss a breakfast spin of a sunday l8r g8r

Mine squared off at 6k km with 2.3mm over the wear indicator. I agree dry performance is pretty good. It doesn't feel great in the wet even though it grips.

Nothing better than a bit of rubber under you that you trust . I have run flats on mine so they have a much thicker profile than road tires itself .

Thank you very much for your straightforward and honest review, please keep up the good work. Just a recommendation. We Americans love hearing about the Irish culture. You could probably triple your ratings if you add more of your culture.

Thats amazing~! I feel the exact same way about those tires being dogshit in the rain braking. Those are my first tires ever, (On my first bike ever a 05 Kawasaki ZX6R). And I also felt while riding the "Yyy i'm not feeling so good right now" when riding in the rain, but regardless, i didn't crash ...until~ some muppet forced a turn when i had a right on way in the rain. I grabbed the front brake, and even though i tried easing into it, just instantly front slipped, handlebars twisted and i was sliding through the intersection. I always thought that what I felt about those tires couldn't be right because i'm just a motorcycle newbie, but there you go :D But on the sidenote, the dry weather performance is absolutely phenomenal. I managed to drag knee on the highway ramps (the upward snail ones they just invite you to lean over :D) and i felt glued to the ground even at higher speed when doing this. But I guess you can't have everything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've never tried the tyres so can't comment, but interesting to hear your thoughts on them. Tyres are so very subjective, and I've heard folk have one bad experience on a knackard old tyre and then hate the brand that made them forever. Is grand you get on with them, but worrying to hear the lack of confidence in the wet on braking

I'm running flat slicks on my bike atm 🙈 im gonna try change the tyres myself this time and see how that goes

As always good factual and practical advice fair play. Yes really getting cheesed with it I'm just dying to get out the odd time I can take mine to work with me witch is 30 min ride it just doesn't cut it 😭😭

To compare these Dunlops with other tire manufacturers . Nr1 Metzlers are my favorites Roadtec01 (soft and grippy) , Nr2 Pirelli Angel GT II (a bit harder bit very good grip). Nr3 Any Continental tire(reliable but pricy), Dunlop sportmaxx II ( super affordable, predictable). Tires i would not recommend, any Michelin stiff and hard and lack grip in corners wet (road-4, road-3,road-2 , Pilot power 2CT). Any Bridgestones (T30,T31, BT23) ( stiff and hard and lack grip in corners wet). Why because they have caused me to crash or near crashes several times over the years and they scare the hell out of me.

Hi! Just got these on my Honda ctx 700..seem good!

"It's Ireland of course I've ridden in the rain..." I guess if you want to know how a tire performs in the wet ask an Irish motovlogger! Good information and review didn't know about the manufacture date thing. Was that your German accent? I have never used the Sportmax Roadsport 2's.

Just some feedback. Dunlop D214 was OEM tyre on many Kawasakis. Those tyres are outright dangerous in wet weather and slips the tyre on lean in legal speeds corners. Kawasaki then made Dunlop Sportmax II their new OEM tyre. I can with joy tell you these tyres are just as good for regular road riding as Pirellis. I rode these sportmax II, 450 miles in mixed heavy rain, in one of the worst touring rides of my life. And the tyres had all the grip i needed even when leaning in some sharper corners. The drygrip is good and progressive lean-in, and my skill level i cant outride these tires in the dry weather on country roads. Bikes i ownd, Daytona 959,SV1000, GSX1400, VFR800, Z800, Z900 and have been riding for 20 years.

Very helpful, these are super cheap here in So Cal. The GPR300 is the same price... what do you guys recommend?

I've always used Qualifier2 on my Hornet 600 and I'm thinking changing to these. Personally the Qualifiers never troubled me in wet conditions and I ride in all kinds of weather all the time (as far as Greece's weather can be thought of as all kinds of weather), so does anyone has any experience for both and how the RoadSport reacts in wet in comparison to the Qualifiers? Also, nice video, liked that it is natural and not scripted or forced! 👍

I got it on my Ninja 650. and I dont feel confident pushing it in the cold and damp, as a commuter tire its great and perfectly fine, but any more then that I just dont feel the confidence, I will probably just replace it for S22s from Bridgestone.

I was thinking of getting them. How is their performance in spring time where the temperatures are 40s and 50s . or less than 7 Degree Celsius?

Trying to decide between this and the Bridgestone s22.

Hi, you have mentioned S22. Can you tell me some difference between those two? For mor sporty riding... Thanks

How much mileage did you eventually get out of these tires and would you buy them again?

Never tried dunlops, going with michelins for my next set on the sporty. Haven’t really heard anything good or bad about dunlops for cruisers either so that’s worth something, I guess?

Their are sooo many tyres to choose from out there how do you really make the right choice ,I have Metzelers on mi XJR I mostly ride in the dry unless I get caught out . The feel in the dry is I would say ok with a bit of what I would call creep when cornering if ya know what I mean in the wet I would guess " cos I don't push it at all in the wet " it's the same . I think the trouble is until you've spent the money out after doin a bit of research and now of course we have the internet and You Tube to help but in the end ya don't know until ya got them on yer bike .Hope ya get my meaning here good topic cheers : ) .

I watched half of this hours ago, then got lost in my studio recording drums. After that edited and uploaded 2 videos to be released over the next couple of weeks. Naturally you have ridden wet roads. I ride with wet underpants. ;) I got about 15k out of my last rear tyre. Current one is due for a replacement and has only done about 7k.

0:06 That's the Road Sport 2 Tire. (Not a Road Smart 2)

You are a lot harder on the rear hey? WP???? Where are you? G???

I guess they must be good if they come stock on the 2024 CBR650R xD ( I FUCKING HOPE SO)

Looks like you need to heat :-)
