Are those tyres pneumatic?

Tragic thing. Spice it up with some apes.

I am hoping to get some wheelie and knee down action on it once I get some decent tyres for it and get it MOT'd

Michelin do a decent 125 tyre
Not a matched set in these wheel sizes, see the other thread,
( http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.p...12#post2972212 )
but I am hoping to get a set of Metzelers for it. Just trying to find out if I can put tubeless tyres on it

Enough about me....


You'd be surprised about the BlackBird, it requires a little more up front thought but it'll hustle through a set of twisties

I almost chucked a wheelie on this bike on Saturday. Reason being though that as I went to change from first to second gear, I missed the gear changer as it is made for people with really massive feet. Was quite amusing, especially to Squirrel_Hunter, who was behind me
