Do you think tire make the bike

[Busa_BadBoy08]

I am a die hard Dunlop tire guy, loved the 208 and really love the Qualifiers. not alot of saddle time with Bridgestone Battlax however the did come stock with the 08Busa. are these good tires or should I go back to D.Q.'s and if so how about a 17-50-200 rear?

It will be apparent to you within a few hundred miles which way to go here.

The B-King, interestingly enough, comes with Dunlop Qualifiers.

Rear: going to a 200 rear tire on a stock K8: I personally would not. But then, I bought the bike for serious riding. Not everyone does. That said, it certainly appears to have sufficient clearance to handle the 200mm tire.

You'll be happy with the BTO15 that comes stock on your new busa. I have shagged a few sets of them. However, I am a qualifier fan and will replace my 15 with qualifiers when the 15's are done.

I was sold on Qualifiers after watching Jason Pridmore shag a GSXR1K on this remarkable tire. Guy is freakin amazing. I have been on Qualifiers ever since. The qualifier is as good as it gets for a street tire on the track as well.

What tire is best for you depends on your riding.

Additionally, what do you want out of your tire.

some combination of grip and high mileage
