Default Dunlop Q2's?

My GPA-209's finally gave up the ghost so I had a set of the Q2's installed. Anyone have any experience with this tire? I went with a 199/55 120/70 combo again. I haven't even riden a mile on them yet, just around the corner from the bike shop to my house. Had a chance to clean a little while the wheels werre off so I took some pics.

I've had a couple sets on my bike and I love them. They make the bike ride like it's on rails. Sharp lookin bike, btw.

Very nice bike, How many miles are on that? I'll need new tires next spring I'm looking at Michelin Pilot.

I have them on my buell and I'm very happy with them. I had put 800 miles on a set of power pures, but hated them to pieces. I couldn't accelerate hard with the michelins or it would send the front end into a tank slapper. The Q2's are very stable in comparison. The pures also felt bouncy going in a straight line. Did not like them at all.

Thanks. The bike has 12,100 miles on it. The 209's were amazing but didn't last long, but I knew that would be the case when I got them. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get out and break them in a little.

Well the first trip out I leaned all the way to the slip indicators on the tires and they felt like they had more. Can't wait to try them out on some really curvy roads.

I have them on my 03 954 and they are awesome cornering is so much easier effortless they really stick to the asphalt you will see the difference when you start taking corners it boost your confidence .

That's a terrific looking 954 you have there. I'll need new tires in spring so am happily reading along.
