Really good mostly street tire
If you ride mostly on the pavement and you don't want to spend a lot on tires, these are for you. These are great for the price.

I have ridden about 300 miles so far and find the tires very stable on both pavement and dirt. Corners very well and they seem to hold up well so far. Have not been on wet surfaces yet, so I don't know how they will perform. Till now I am very impressed with the tires, I would not be worried about a cross country ride on these tires. Maybe even Mexico and Canada.

Kenda - K761 Dual Sport Front tire
Very pleased with these tires, I've used these tires to commute back and forth to work. Extremely quite compared to my knobbies on the asphalt. They look fantastic mounted on my dual sport.

Great tire for the money.
Purchase it to burn-up on an all interstate ride. It did its job well, and for very little cash ~ esp for a KTM 950.

Great tire
I read that this tire flexes a little on corners. I’m not a speed DEMON but I push it a little and have had no negative issues with this tire. I mounted it myself and didn’t even balance it and no wobble or shake. Wear is good. Really have noticed much wear after a few thousand miles. I notice nothing adverse on cornering at speed. No flex or anything. Very good cheap tire and I will buy another when this one wears out on my o4 KLR650. One other thing, I ride SLOW in the rain so I have no good gauge on wet performance. I have had no issues though. Since I didn’t put it to the TEST, I marked it a 4.... happy riding.

This seems to be a good tire for the price. I only have 800 miles on it but it seems to work very well all around. It is just a bit squirmy in deep gravel but ok.

Kenda K761 Front and rear
I put these tires on my 2007 XR650L this is my daily commuter I
ride it 30 miles a day across the desert to work. Some of which is pavement. When I first put these tires on they made the bike feel heavy after about 200 miles. I like them they handle very well I am very pleased.

KENDA 761
This is my second pair of 761’s that I put on my KLR. A real nice handling tire on a dual sport. As I do about 70% commuting and 30% off road it gives you the best of both worlds. Not recommended for sand. The MOTORCYCLE SUPERSTORE offered the best price at time of order and fast shipping!

Great street tire for a dual sport
I ride mostly street, and dirt riding is limited to hard-pack fire roads. Compared to the Kenda knobbies I had before, these things are like riding on a rail. I don't have enough experience to really lay the bike over on a turn, but I've pushed these as far as I would dare on ANY tire, and there was no sign of traction loss. FUN!
Shipment was very fast, best price on the internet, and I bought enough to make shipping free. I didn't have any issues installing them.

K761 Front
My break-in run for these tires was a 350mile run down to and around New Hope PA which is a lot of twisty roads with elevation changes. Even with all the gravel on the pavement these tires performed very well. Took them through my friend’s dirt track in his backyard and they were pretty good- obviously no knobbies- but they hooked better than DeathWings. Only concern I had was the first few miles they seemed washy but once they got a few break-in miles they stuck very well. Whereas my previous tires would drag under hard downshifting into a turn these tires stick all the way through even on a light bike (260lbs).

Great tire
Great tire for the Dual Sporter that likes the winding roads
With the logging roads & mild trails as a bonus.

Exactly What I Was Looking For (But You Have To Be Looking Exaclty For This)!
I got the dual sport both to save gas on long commutes around central Florida, and to fulfill a lifelong longing to own a big single-cylinder street legal dirt bike. It was great off road, yet the saddle was low enough to be comfortable on the street. But the tires were killing me! I found myself doing more on the road than off, and the knobs were so worn down in the middle that the bike could stand on its own without the kickstand.
Let's face it chum: I wouldn't take it on the Barstow-to-Vegas run, and it is useless in the deep-and-loose, but if you gave this tire more than a passing glace then you aren't looking for a muddin' tire. You are looking at this tire because of the cheap price tag and its DOT certification. If you take your thumper more on road than off and still want a little fun on the occasional fire road, this is the tire to buy.
Don't let the price fool you -- this will out perform any street-only tire on the road, and it has a surprising amount of bite off the road. The tire's deep tread pattern also keeps the bike from looking goofy (I recently saw a DR400 with street slicks. Gross.)
On dry and wet pavement, these tires are unbeatable in the corners and the wide surface contact area gives a surefooted quiet ride in the straights. Passing stopped cars on the shoulder is a breeze.
In moderate offroad conditions, this tire does surprisingly well in the hard-pack and in the clay. Fire roads and trails are no problem, even with some minor puddles (I said MINOR) or some loose gravel -- as long as there is something solid underneath the loosey-goosey to grip. This tire even handles confidently over small jumps, though it gets more than a little dicey in the whoop-de-doos. No surprise here: In sand and mud, this tire both figuratively and literally falls flat on its face. The rear spins helplessly and the front slides out from underneath like a Looney Toon on a banana peel. But if you took more than one look at this tire and expected to compete in supercross, then you need to go back to your XBox and rethink your career plans. As for the star rating, I give it five across the board for street and the ratings given above for offroad.

Kenda - K761 Dual Sport Front tire
I purchased these tires for two reasons, 1 for a more street able tire and 2 for price. The tires come good on both accounts. The flat tread definitely takes getting use to in cornering as the turning response is quicker. Within 50 miles of travel, you should get the feel for them. I can't speak of wet traction or tread life yet, but these surely reduce the vibration of the stock knobbies that came on the bike

Put a set of these on my 2008 Kawasaki klr650, and drove them round trip from Michigan to Prudhoe Bay and back.
Changed both out just short of Michigan, but not because I had to, I bought another set from you just recently. Great tires.

Great tire for the money
Have about 800 miles on the tires now and they do well off and on road. Not for the mud, and wet streets seem to make them more lively, but I'd order another set. Will wait and see how many miles I get on them before I decide as they seem to be showing wear after only 800 miles.
