Author Message   Kbxb12s Posted on Monday, September 19, 2005 - 08:25 pm:        I am looking for feedback from those that have tried or are using these tires on their XB. I have seen lots of great blurbs from various sources on them but figured I would check here for input. Thanks.   Cyclonecharlie Posted on Monday, September 19, 2005 - 09:02 pm:        Yes, I have them on my XB9R and am very pleased with them. I have about 3500 on them now and they still look really good. They have excellent grip(better than the Dunlops that came on it and had to be replaced before 2ooo miles) also they eliminated the frontend shakes the bike would get if you took your hands off the bars at almost any speed. I have Avon's on both my bikes and highly recommend them,and I don't baby them( I live 6 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and know every corner up there)............Charlie   Mountainrider Posted on Monday, September 19, 2005 - 09:21 pm:        They are great tires. I have used Avons for years and have always been pleased with them.   Roly Posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - 04:11 am:        hi i've used them on a supermoto,tested to the end exell.they do a good cut rain slick , legal one it warms up straight away , pegs on floor in wet. wears a little quick. oh well.   Krassh Posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - 11:59 am:        I have used them on my XB9S. Excellent wear but I did not feel confident in the corners on them. I have since switched to Michelin Pilot Road on the front and it the bike is much better in the corners now. I still like the Avon's for their mileage though. The Michelin's seem to be wearing just as well and have better wet weather stability.   Lonexb Posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - 01:28 pm:        have them on my bike now. can't say enough good things about them.   Cataract2 Posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - 04:19 pm:        What the overall millage you guys have gotten out of them?   Tq_freak Posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - 04:23 pm:        thats a good thing to hear, i generaly like avon and i was wondering how they ride on my XB, guess I need to burn up the stock ones and find out   Lonexb Posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - 04:52 pm:        i have over 7k on the set i have now and the rear tire is just about to the wear bars. i am pretty brutal on my tires. lone xb   Mrvvrroomm Posted on Wednesday, September 21, 2005 - 06:57 am:        I haven't used them on my XB, but I'm on my 3rd set on my FJR1300. My FJR is much heavier and more torque/hp and they stand up very well to touring duties. I get about 7-8K on a rear, and have taken a front to 16K (that was way too many).   Krassh Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2005 - 12:13 pm:        I had about 8,500 on my last rear tire and 10,000 on my front tire.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2005 - 05:05 pm:        Great tires, last forever, grippy enough to touch pegs.
