same for me

Not much around with a 'Sports bike pattern' - Bridgestone BT-45's work very well. (Tread looks a bit crap tho!) I got some TT100/K81 re-pops which look 'trick' and the 'GT' spec. comes in a modern soft compound, and a lot of metric (modern) sizes.

I haven't tried the Bridgestones on my H2. The best I have found, and they are great, is Pirelli Sport Demons. They are very sticky, and the rear doesn't last long, though. In the old days K81 Rs were the bomb. Not available anymore, but the tires Rod mentioned are probably very similar. You should probably try them for authenticity and handling. On my new Kawasaki ZX 1000 I have Bridgestone Battlaxes. They seem to be very good. They are slightly harder than the Pirelli Sport Demons. Probably very helpful when it comes to tire mileage.

The tyres on my ZX10r don't wear so much, as "unravel" - (oldie but a goodie!). Yeah, they make the TT100's with modern compounds, the "GT'' spec is softer, and available in 100/90-19, and lots of 18" sizes, I got a 130/80-18 for a 3.5" rim.
