I just put on a set of 205s on my bandit. They claim to last 25% longer, I just hope they last 5000 miles. But the bike handles great with new tires, the rear tire that was on it was worn flat from dragracing.

So far, the 205 has been my favorite tire for the B12.
They're getting harder to find, and I thought they were being dropped.

I just got the D205's on my B12yesterday after getting 8300k miles out of the stock tires, so needless to say I'm easy on them. I hope I can get at least that long out of these. I immediately noticed a different feeling, almost more "upright" or the bike wanted to track straight as opposed to feeling like I'm on a bicycle w/o my hands on the handlebars. Strange. I'm going to ride again today to get another feel for them.

I usually got 5-7000 miles out of a rear 205, half again as much out of the front. I've heard reports of over 10000. I got out of the habit of seeing how long I could run a tire, though, after hitting the fabric, once.

I'm just over 10k on my rear 205 and still going strong. :monkeymoon:
