I had the venoms on my last bike, a Yamaha Warrior and loved em.&nbsp\\; It's a good sticky tire.&nbsp\\; As for tire-life - I couldn't say since I traded it in on the softail custom not long afterwards.&nbsp\\; I currently have the Avon Cobras and am very happy with them.&nbsp\\; I'll know more once I get more mileage of out em and see how long they last.&nbsp\\; They've been on about a month and stick nicely.

A friend just put a set on his Suzuki 1500 Intruder and he said they were good on the dry but his Metzlers were better in the rain. Just one more opinion!

The Venom series has been replaced by the Cobras.&nbsp\\; You can probably still find them on line though.&nbsp\\; I love my Cobras.&nbsp\\; I have 5000 miles with little visible wear.&nbsp\\; Very sticky and they look cool too.

I ran them on my last bike and loved them. I put a set on the Sporty 4,000 miles ago and I am very happy with them.
