Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR review

Posted on January 29, 2023February 6, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR is an adventure or dual sport tire that has gained a lot of traction. Why it has, well several reasons. For one thing, traction is very good. Traction in the market as well! Those aren’t few, the bikes that come factory fresh with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR mounted, of late. Think…read more>>

Metzeler Karoo 3, a tire surprise

Posted on November 7, 2021October 31, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Metzeler Karoo 3 have been around for a long time. I’m not quite sure for how long. Took a chance, got a pair,  and was surprised! I did some research and found reviews dating back to 2015 and older. However I am not sure the 2021 model is identical to the first ones. I would…read more>>

Continental TKC 70 tire review

Posted on September 25, 2021February 5, 2023 by Knut Meyn 3 Comments

Continental TKC 70 tires wasn’t a part of any plan. A change just happened on the return home from this year’s Euro-Adventure (more later). I could have made it home, back to Norway, with the Anakee Adventure tires. But the rear was very worn. Since being in Germany, where tires are cheaper, it made sense…read more>>

10 000 kilometers on Michelin Anakee Adventure

Posted on July 21, 2019October 31, 2022 by Knut Meyn 6 Comments

10 000 kilometers on Michelin Anakee Adventure. Here are some impressions. In brief, am every bit as satisfied as when I first bought them. Recently I was out riding on gravel again. No other tires I’ve had on my 2016 BMW R1200GS Adventure have felt this good after 10 000 kilometers of abuse. Some of…read more>>

Anakee Adventure, gravel, dirt and offroad (re)views

Posted on April 29, 2019October 31, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Anakee Adventure is a dual sport tire. Designed for pavement as well as riding off the beaten track, on gravel, dirt and offroad. That is the claim, and so says reviews I’d seen prior to acquiring a set . Being a 80/20, or 80 percent on-road and 20 percent offroad, I was excited to find…read more>>

Michelin Anakee Adventure review & first impressions

Posted on April 18, 2019October 31, 2022 by Knut Meyn 6 Comments

Michelin Anakee Adventure was introduced early 2019. As reviews appeared it seemed evident that Anakee Adventure was a tire to be had. But how good are they? Naturally I had to find out.  The tires from last year were almost done. So my BMW R1200GS Adventure was fitted with a set of the Anakee Adventure….read more>>

Michelin Sirac review; a tire for allround usage

Posted on March 24, 2019October 31, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Michelin Sirac is a great all-round tire for medium size adventure bikes. On pavement, on gravel, dirt, or offroad, it is a good choice.  Michelin Sirac – first experiences Fall 2017 I bought my second motorcycle, a 1995 Honda XL600v Transalp. Decided that I needed something lighter, something for commuting and shorter expeditions. From before…read more>>

A Karoo Street first real road test came came May 207. I did ca. 415 kilometers, or 258 miles, on various types of surfaces. My previous tire choice you can read about here.  Just to have that out in the open: am not a professional tester, professional rider, nor a journalist. And I don’t pretend…read more>>

Tire-some topic (again), and a “bold” decision

Posted on May 15, 2018October 31, 2022 by Knut Meyn 2 Comments

Tire-some yet important topic for us who rides motorcycles. I am talking about tires. I see lots of praise, of many types of tires. Most of them more offroad biased, at the expense of tarmac handling, durability, noise and a bunch of other considerations. A brilliant tire decision, for me Last year, as the first…read more>>

Tires, a tiring topic you cannot retire from

Posted on December 3, 2017October 31, 2022 by Knut Meyn 11 Comments

Since picking up riding again, after more than a quarter of a century “in darkness”, the topic around and about tires bounces back, all the time. What to choose, and what to use. Tires, not an -ism, not a religion although sometimes I wonder if that is exactly what the topic has evolved, or rather…read more>>
