I've been looking over the threads on changing tires. My question is DO I need new tires.
As this season is just about to start, I'm wondering if I should get new tires.
I have a 2004 Busa with 4500 easy miles. I have never done a wheelie even though I've tried.
Just in case your wondering I have 3 bikes, this one just doesn't get rode as much, although I hope to change that.
The tires still have good tread. They are original.
It gets stored inside during the winter.
I guess I'm wondering if the rubber can/does break down after 7½ years or can it get hard etc.
I plan on riding it a little more this year, especially with gas prices going up up & up.
Now if anyone thinks I should change them instead of running them another year or so,
then I would like suggestions on what tires. Standard 120/190 on it now.
I don't do wheelies or burn outs, just the once in a while WOT.
At this point I don't think I will take it to a track anytime soon either.
Most riding is solo with a passenger maybe 5-6 times a year.
So hopefully you guys can give me some good advice.
Thanks in Advance.
