Hi Paul,

this is my K1600GT from post #890. Nothing pathological with the tire. Just the soft stock tire (a Metzler) used for commute, so it wears more in the middle than at the edges. And I noticed the wear a little late, only check once a week or so. The replacement that I picked will be harder and hopefully give more mileage.

Just a year ago I had 3 motorcycles but I'm down to one now, a 1981 R100 Basic.

My BMW R90/6 was sold to pay for my moto trip and the Honda CB750 is going back to my brother-in-law.

 
Roland--thanks for the info. Thought the wear pattern may have indicated a few trips to the drag strip! :) Went back and looked at the bike--a beauty! Any negatives? They are supposed to be a super touring bike.
Thanks.
Paul

Denis--that Ducati looks like a Moto Guzzi to my untrained eye!

Paul - you are likely right. I plead ignorance. :) I know cameras, not bikes, hahaha!

There is a tech office right across the street from my building at which the staff ride and drive no end of toys from Ducatis/Guzzis to a fully restored 1969 Ford Bronco.
