Easy, you are correct about a worn flat M/C tire. But do remember that is a shape the tire was not supposed to be in to begin with. When we got back from our trip in 07 the rear on the Vstrom was down to the wear bars and worn flat from the straight flat highways. Not any real significant handling issues from the rear but the front with lots of tread was giving me grief. It had finally just reached it's life span and let me know not all was well in paradise. 25,000 kms was a lot of riding on OEM tires.
I am looking forward to feedback from BB and other forum members as to their satisfaction and overall tire performance.
