Hi there
I noticed that there were a few people out there looking for
tyres to fit the old 750 sport , I have one of these and checked with
Avon Tyres and they do a pair that fit ,although they do make the bike a
bit higher off the ground. they are :-
Tyres:- Avon Azzura
F:- 130/60 -16 (AV45)
R:- 150/80 -16 (AV46)
The rear tyre needed to be fitted with a tube to 'blow' it onto the bead
then the tube was removed (pro tyres in Bristol were most helpful)
I have not ridden on them yet , but they have a much rounder profile
than the mitchellins , so it looks as if cornering will be even more fun.

Pete.

I guess the front Avon tires are 130/70-16.
As far as I know, no manufacturer build the 130/60-16.
Ciao

u r right the front is 130/70 - 16. it is a bit of a tight fit but the bike handles well on them.
