How long ago did you order them? I was going to get a set but I could not find any at the places I tried, so I ended up getting some Bridgestone BT45's. My wheels are at the powder coater right now so I have not put them on yet.

I got them from motorcycle-superstore.com because they had them in stock (DennisKirk.com was back ordered) and they shipped them the same day, free, plus it was a great price. It took about 6 days to get them Fedex ground because I'm in Va and they're in Oregon.

Korax123, darn it, I didn't even think about taking tread pics, and it's pouring rain tonight so I'm waiting until tomorrow to go and pick the bike up from the shop. Will post tread pics then.

Pirelli makes them and I got them from motorcycle-superstore.com. Got great reviews by the forum members at ninja250.com and getting them mounted today.

Here are the before and after pics showing the stock Dunlops vs the Pirelli Sport Demons. Just riding them home I could feel a BIG difference in that they are a step larger (100/90H-16 front and 130/90V-16 rear) and felt like they gripped the road much better even though it was slick from the recent rain. I'll give a report again after I've done some distance on them since I may be biased after riding them for just 20 miles home from the shop. But so far so good!

Here's the front stock Dunlops then the Sport Demons, the rear to follow:
