Just picked up a Darmah and would like tire suggestions for road use.
Pirelli used to be a hot brand. Is this still the case?

What size tire? If it were me I'd go with the bridgestone BT45's. More
likely to find them in a size to fit a 1978 Darmah than a Pirelli,
but I haven't looked at Pirelli for tires in that size and I ride a
motorcycle of that vintage.

Tire Sizes:
Front: 100/90V 18
Rear: 120/90V 18
Thank you for the information. Before your reply, I installed Avon
RoadRiders (per Bevel Heaven-Steve Allen's suggestion). So far, so
good.
I have heard good things about the Brigestone BT 45's and shall try
them next time.

I've never ridden a bevel duke nor tried the avon roadriders but I've
been very happy with the BT45s on my Laverda & my wife's bonneville (as
well as my old VFR & Aprilia Pegaso) - I don't think you'll go far wrong
with them.
I need to put tyres on the Laverda soon (100/90 & 130/80 V18) and I've
heard good things about the Pirelli Sport Demon so I'll probably try
them as they're marginally cheaper than the BT45.
Continental do the ContiGo in a similar range of sizes but the only
bloke I know who's tried them so far has only had them fitted (to his
BM) this week so no feedback yet

Always smart to listen to a subject matter expert.

I like them. Both on my 79' GL1000 and on the wife's 09' ninjette. 8^)
I voluntered to scrub in the tires for her. ;^)
