  27. Pirelli Angel Gt's 20 Aug 2013 04:34 Plenty of tread left, and yes, they are squared off a bit, does slow things up a bit, but they weren't a very quick turning tire anyway, something to do with the way the profile was designed. I want to get a track day…

  37. 2013 Vfr1200F 23 Nov 2012 05:17 I'm not sure, I rode it in April of 2012. Probably a 2012. The price right now is just to cost prohibitive. It runs around 10 Grand.
