There seems to be more choice and better prices on H rated tyres.
Do I need to go with V on the old girl. I'm not likely to go over the 130 the H is rated at?
If V rated I'm down to a choice of 2 or 3.
100-120 / 90 / 18 either Mich pilot activ or BT 45. Any preference?
There is also a Dunlop streetsmart but no one seems to have tried them.
What do you think.
Cheers

I'm not familar with that model but you shoud really go with the manufactures recmondation. Its not only the top speed but the other performance ablitys of the bike. JJH

Haven't you answered your own question then?

I ran BT45's on my MkI/II hybrid thingy and loved them.

Here's a link to the discussion on here LINKY

It's a Le Mans. My dislexia. I wouldn't skimp on tyers. JJH

I'm not skimping but I've used BT45 and Mich before on other bikes and fancied a change.
A change is as good as a vest, or is that dislexia KO.
 
I've used br45s before on a Honda deauville. They are a good tyer. Do they come in the correct speed rating off your bike? JJH
