You volunteering to be a test pilot 

I read a short article in one of the comics a while back, if I remember correctly they were using the Dora and XC as the main development mules, I'm sure they will have tried other bikes but it did cross my mind they might be trying to get into Triumphs pants. I recall also reading a comment from one of the EU major manufacturers who was quoted as saying "the OE market was very important to them, not just for new bikes but their research indicated a very high percentage of owners stick with original tyres".

....... quoted as saying "the OE market was very important to them, not just for new bikes but their research indicated a very high percentage of owners stick with original tyres".

there is a lot of truth to that statement .
It took me years to convince Mrs M to try something other than T66 Michelins , the only reason she finally changed was Michelin quit making the damn things

Haha that made me smile I loved the 66's they came stock on both my 900i's can't remember what I switched to after that and the same in early days of the 955 but what ever it was they where crap and thought sod this I need some decent rubber and changed the wheels.

Shame I cant wait till its launch in June as my rear Tourance is just about shot and it looks a neat tyre, got Avons on my Speedy and love em, but then I loved the Distanzias I had on my old KLE... could chuck that mutha around even with a 21" front
