Here is a photo from the side. It looks real good. I got the tire, tube and a band strip from American Motorcycle Tire for $194 shiped to my door. This tire should have come on this bike from the MOCO.

It was between the Avon and Pirelli and the Pirelli won due to the front and rear being both bias ply. I could not find a front and rear matching in either Bias or Radial.
With that said, I may have gone with the Avon 190 like arkstreetbob if I knew of the 190.
There is no way in He11 that I would have paid the $ for the 502. I got both front and rear for less.

Now, my other reasons for looking at the Avon and Night Dragon was actually the lack of sidewall. I ran out of tread on the stock Dunflops and almost ended up 6 ft under. With the Avons and Night Dragon, I doubt you will run out of tread before you loose your pegs completely.

Both are Great tires, it is your personal preference.

arkstreetbob your scoot looks sweet with the 190!
Thanks

In Hot Springs, AR and did some riding today. This is a good riding tire. It did everything I wanted it to do. Riding the back roads is fun with this tire. Going to some more riding tomorrow.

Avon list it as a cruiser tire. You have to look to find info on there wet site like air pressure and what kind of milage you should get. They call for 38 - 42 psi and say 9000 - 10000 miles. I am running 38 psi in it.

Hi,

Yeah i went thru 2 gt502 and have just gone to pirelli nd, definitely easier in the curves but tire not true 180 probably more 170 once fitted

Have avon on front and mileage is very good so will keep an eye on how you go with the rear Ark, thanks for posting up

Got caught in a light rain while riding this weekend. Tires did very good in the rain. I was not sure how they would ride in the rain but I would ride in rain if I had to now.
