Well, you gotta at least try! Don't you? By the way, thanks again for the invite. The ride I had made my day. 100 miles total.

Great street tire, freaking horrible off road.... but I have managed to wrangle the KLR around the loop a few times on the Scorpion ST's on the KLR..... but it has taken a nap a few times while doing it...HeHeHe. Well I have managed Hawbottom rd with ice and junk too on they hyper which has Corsa III's so maybe I'm not so bright :screwy:

+1 on a good street tire.. Greg (who lurks here) has a main screen pic on ADV rider with his 950ADV keeled over dragging hard parts at the gap on his with the oem scorps (he's wearing the skelton/bones leather)..

I have one set to use yet.. However, if you ever need just street tire - the Avon Roadmasters freaking rock and wear well.. If you search YouTube for Ktm 950 Adv and Laguna Seca.. There is a vid of a guy on a 950 Adv chasing down a gixxer 1000.. He is using these tires....

Also, if you haven't done it - the 16T front sprocket make ALLOT of difference :) (that and getting the block off plates from Adv rider and bypassing the emissions crap as well)...

I was going to do the 16t sprocket, but after a lot of riding managed to get to the point where I don't need that or a throttle cam change. The bike is jerky if you are heavy handed, but very controlable once you spend time on it.

I love the Scorps on the road, very smooth and reliable. Plus on dirt roads, they do a decent job as well.
