This tire looks like a DARKSIDER'S wet dream!! 
Does anyone have this on their VTX? It is expensive and is made for DOT legal street but is a race tire. Would like to get a review if someone is riding on one.

That is a sweet looking tire, but not enough rain grooves for my area. Darksiders in the south west would do well with something like that. Vic, you get to be a test pilot for that one 
See you out there

I Have One For Sale

I picked up an Advan from the Tire Rack a couple months ago. Was going to put it on My 1800C when the Falken wears out, maybe sooner. Couple of weeks ago, I purchased a 2001 Royal Star Venture, so I am going to sell my X and the Advan. So, if anyone is interested, PM me.I never did get to mount that tire and try it out. 
Maybe I should before I sell the bike?

.[Hi,
There are people using it on their Valkyrie,
There were very good reviews on it,Has a more rounded profile than other CT's,
Not much better than MC tire for wear though,
Not many sizes available, It's has a racing tire rubber compound. :
