    Hey all, Thanks for the advice a few weeks ago. I walked away from the first bike I looked at. I ended up getting a Silver 2005 with 9200 miles on it + a brand new Sargent seat for just a few bucks more. I am probably going to put new rubber on it right away although it might squeak by inspection with the tires that are on it. The front is a bit cupped. I'm currently debating between Conti Road Attacks and the Michelin Pilot Road 2s.

    Congrats! Can't go wrong with Michelin Pilot Road 2ct, dual compound.

    2nd on the Pilot Road 2CT's. On my 2nd set and loving them. Great feel and stick when you need it leaned over at triple digit railing.

    My vote goes to the Bridgestone BattlAX BT016, cheap, sticky, and lasts decently long for a hypersport tire.
