The tire is perfect for on-off machines. I have them on my NC750X and the grip is incredible. They have a soft rubber, so they wear out faster than Bridgestone tires. They give you the feeling that you can lean into the curves and when I first saw them, I was shocked. On wet roads, they hold better than Bridgestone tires, but you need to be a little careful not to go overboard with the throttle. In terms of braking, I think Bridgestone tires were slightly better.
