Which bike?

I recommend the Heidenau K60. I have it on my F800GS, and with 4000 miles on the tyre it looks about half worn.

It is a great tyre off road - certainly as good as the TKC80 for thr dry and rocky trails I rode, and it handled 2000 miles of fast road / motorway work with no problems.

Cheaper than the TKC too...
