I've been running the Venoms for about 3 years and have had nothing but good luck and great handling. They seem to wear really good also.

I ran Avon on the Harley Road King and got good milage and performance,however they proved too soft for the weight of that particilar bike. Performance improved with Harley tyres.

They are great tires, just don't get the milage of the dunlops due to the softer compounds. Make sure you are religious about checking your tire pressure, they will cup very quickly if ran underinflated.
