I just put a matched set of these on my xb12s and wanted to comment. I only have about 180 miles on them but what a difference over the sportmax 208's. They feel like they have more tire touching the road and the bike rolls through the corners confidently. I was a little skeptical as the reviews only tested in 80 plus weather and I live and ride in the Northwest. 50 to 60 degree rides and they have impressed me thus far especially for the smok'n deal i got. I have only hit sunny weather so I will comment on the foul weather rides and as I put more mileage on them for those interested.

Put in a bad weather ride yesterday and as I am a cruiser I put in some cautious miles. Although they were mostly twisty, turny, with elevation change miles. Tires performed good. My confidence is still rising.

Last week was out for an 80 miler and experienced sun, wind, hail, hard rain, and cloudy skies. No problems and I even hit a couple corners a little more aggressive(still not high speed) to test the traction and my confidence in these tires keeps growing.

Just put a set on my 1125cr. completely different feel than the stock Pirelli III's. Bike feels much more stable in the straights and smoother through the corners.

Put another 100+ miles on them two days ago in the sun and I still thoroughly agree. Smooth and stable.

Just got back from some hard riding on the Q2's. The bike is soo much better than ever before. I have been adjusting since I got the CR trying to get it to feel good through the corners. I am there now . I love the Dunlops
