Hmm. Maybe run over to a Triumph Tiger board. They run similar sized tires. Not sure if you going to get much response on this board. Either that or the GS boards farther down the main page I figure they would have more info on these types of tires.

Have tried the Pirelli Scorpion (rear only, front was a Diablo Strada) on a muddy day over Salisbury plain (pics : http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockburner ... 319489863/ )

Worked fine. :)

There have been at least one or two conversations about this at ADVRider and the general consensus...and rule of thumb in life is...run what you brung.
