NSR150SP - Tyres - Pirelli Sport Demon

This is the boring bit about the Tyres I put on the NSR.

I went up one Size from OEM on the Front and on the Rear.
(F 90/80-17,  R 120/80-17)

I bought a matching set of Pirelli Sport Demon tyres.
From Western Motorcycles - Penrith - for about $250 Aud for the Pair.
I think a very good price.

The Front is a 100/80/-17.

The Rear is a 130/70-17.

In going up one size, I maintained the correct ratio and profile.
So, gearing is still good, and the speedo reading accurate.

I think these Tyres look a little better and fuller on the Rims.
They look good.
And more importantly they Feel good.

I rode the Bike with the original Tyres, and these don't feel so flighty.
Having a slightly flatter wider profile helps the handling.
They feel quite stable, and they change direction precisely.
And the compound feels grippy through corners.

Normally I like Michelin and Dunlops, and use them on my heavier Bikes.
However, I am very happy with these.
A very good Pirelli Tyre.
