liquidcooled Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 when out on the bike today i spotted a stunning blue r1, with BLUE tyres on it :shock: what are your thoughts on these? bit tacky i thought. made a class bike look cheap. if anyone has them then no offence :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1JAN Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Ive had 2 sets of 207's and have currently got 208's on & the bike has only done 6000miles, so they dont last long enough to warrant spending the extra money on coloured ones, but even if they are the same price i still think i'd rather have the normal ones as its good being a novelty on other peoples bikes but would'nt want them on my own.....

TarkMalbot Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Tomahalwke tyres! Or something like that (crap at spelling!) They are dead cheap! And if you think your tyres dont last long! Try 40 laps on my 208GP race tyres! :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted May 9, 2004 Admin Share Posted May 9, 2004 Yep spot on Tomahawk make them, they are actually remoulds, but if they are good enough for dave coates they would be good enough for me.

They were discussed a while back check out here http://www.yamahaclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8 jeah. remoulds they are. but when you burnout with them its just the usual kinda grayishblue smoke. although there will be yellow/blue or red skidmarks in the tarmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
