New tire advice
I'm looking to put new tires on my 06 250R in the near future. The bike is mainly for commuting but some fun riding also. I ride 2 lane roads mostly. I am looking at the Kenda 671 mostly due to price. Anyone have experiance with these?

I just got my sport demons which are suppose to be among the best for traction, but they don't last long according to others. You could try the Dunlop gt501's for better life and good grip. I had them on my 750, and was very pleased.

try the continental road force or road attacks - the road attacks are dual compound, gripping sides and long lasting center tread for commuting. these are the ones i got and i love them, really improved the feel of the bike for me.

Just put some Kenda K671's on my 04 250 about a 1000 miles ago. There a lot more stable in cornering then the Dunlops.
I mostly commute on straight roads and the tires didn't seem to wear at all.
I love them for the price.

Im thinking of new tires also and thought i would throw this into the equation. Wich tires are radials? I know from experience with old cars one of the best ways to get better handling is to switch from Bias (wich the OEM Dunlops are) to radials.

I was talked into the road force got bout 1000 mi on em so far traction and wear have been really good no chicken strips left and pretty confident at reasonable speeds dont have the trust i had with the qualifiers though ive got a much heavier bike (zx9r)so for the 250 i think they would serve you well dont know what fits your bike though

I've had my Bridgestone BT-45's for about 2,000 miles now and love them. The 3 biggies for the 250Ninja are the BT-45's, Sport Demons and the Pirelli MT-75. I don't think you'd make a wrong decision with any of those.
