    So i got my sport demons fitted about 3 weeks ago on my gpx 250 and have done 1500 km on them so far and what a difference they have been from my BT45 dunlops.After reading various forums across the net about changing the profile from 80 to 90 (80 being recommended by kawasaki) i got the 90 demons to try out.They feel like they really stick to the road and the handling has improved somewhat, certainly not worse.The best thing about them is the grip in the wet,and i now have confidence in them no matter what the conditions are.As i use my bike for commuting on a daily basis whatever the weather this is a big plus.I don't expect to get a million miles out them as they are soft ,but the better cornering and handling in the wet more than enough makes up for it.I'll update this post when they wear down or let me down.
    So far so good. :Thumbs_up:

    Good to know,

    I wanted the BT45s to begin with for the dual compound but none of the local mobs would supply them on account of bridgestone being a bunch of pricks to deal with or something to that degree haha, so too got the sport demons.

    They turn in quicker than the arrowstax is all i noticed (not a racer by any means).

    Can only compare them to the 100 year old arrowstax but they are heaps better and I've not had any moments with em. Nearly done 8000km on them too with plenty more to go. I reckon ill grab another set when the time comes :)

    Yeah, because they're dangerously bad. I believe the 250cc production racing class even crumbled and allows the use of another tyre aside from the arrowstax spec tyre this year. Will be interesting to see how many people will run it if that's the case (zero lol)
