Hi everyone! I posted about this earlier but I don't think anyone saw the part about the tires. I'm going to look at the 2001 GS500 tomorrow morning and I'm just wondering about these tires that the guy has on the bike. Any idea what kind they are? Are the good for the street?

Hi weilbajosh!

That front tire looks like the Kenda K671 Cruiser... same tread as the front tire I've got on my GS. I have no complaints really... except maybe the age... it's been on there since I bought my bike lol

I don't wanna take a guess on the back tire cuz that pic is pretty blurry. Maybe someone else will know!
Superbike bars, '04 GSXR headlight & cowl, DRZ signals, 1/2" fork brace, 'Busa fender, stainless exhaust & brake lines, belly pan, LED dash & brake bulbs, 140/80 rear hoop, F tail lens, SV650 shock, Bandit400 hugger, aluminum heel guards & pegs, fork preload adjusters, .75 SonicSprings, heated grips

Looks like a pair of the Kenda 671, they are sport tourng street tires.  Not quite as good as the BT45 oem on GSF models, about equivelant to B'stones that came as oem on the older GSE models.
407,400 miles in 30 years for 13,580 miles/year average.  Started riding 7/21/84 and hung up helmet 8/31/14.
