Did you recognize the new Heidenau tire on the front of the bike. The rear should arrive early next week. This tire will fill the void for BMW GS motorcycles between 90/10 street Anakees or Tourances and TKC knobby tires. The advantage is they are suppose to get 8,000 miles per set compared to only 3,000-4,000 per set on the TKC Continentals. Much better for off-road, yet still not overly aggressive for street use.
