Decent sporting tire for Buell Blast
The Viper Strykes are a very popular tire for the Buell Blast (110/70x16 & 140/70x16). They are almost as sticky as the OEM Pirelli MT75 tires and last much longer. I have 8000 miles on my front AM63 and it has been good except for severe cupping. Hasn't lasted as long as I'd like it to. The OEM Dunlop that came with the Blast lasted far longer and had no cupping issues. I can really feel the cupping when riding. Grips well on dry and wet and a definite improvement overall to the OEM Dunlops. You could do much worse than this tire.

Good tire I guess
I didn't have much of a choice anyways since all the other tires were back ordered everywhere. I needed a front tire pretty bad so I just went with this. The tire is a little tiny bit out of round. It wobbles my handlebars a bit as I decelerate with the throttle closed and no brakes applied on my Burgman 650. This tire is not the Radial tire. I don't know about the tread life yet so I'll put it on 3
