Ya think? I had brand new Duncraps on the bike when I bought it last year. Rode and handled like pooh then and still did right up to the point when the Metzler 880's went on. Then my friend it was like a got a new bike.

I need to replace the rear tire on my 05 Standard and looking at the bias Venom. Any thoughts and comments on this tire? Wondering if I can fit the 150 on my bike, but cannot find any tire specs to compare it to my stock Dunlop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Your bike can take a 150 size tire with no problems. That's actually the size of your stock Dunlops! Pretty much every rear was uppped to 150 (unless already higher) back in 2003.
