I bought mine from Motorcycle Superstore for I believe $267.00 Delivered and there is also a $25.00 rebate per tire I believe till the end of this month if I remember right.

My riding style keeps me below 130 mph and off of closed curcuit courses, so I've never seen the need to pay for the performance rating of the Venoms. My front Roadrider is a 110/80-18.

I looked at the roadriders ,at least on one site.I dont need a race tire either but I dont see the correct size for my bike.The venoms are a bit pricey which Is why I havnt taken the plunge yet till I get lots of feedback.
