I was lookin at a 2009 Harley that was going for $18k with one measly rotor up front on a 900lb bike, shameful.
Thats why I did not get a Harley they are terrible for everything. Mine has big 320mm dual front disc and 280 rear so it brakes actully really really well. Handles well to for a cruiser,I am always trying to scrape peg on it. . I just need more power lol. I mean its no sport bike, but its a muscle cruiser as I look at it.

I was referring to Dunlop's street tires.

AMA racers are using special everything... can you buy the exact same Dunlop tires they use for the street? I wouldnt think the tires the racers use would not be street legal.
If you are running any of the top tires from the top companies (Dunlop, Metzeler, Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli etc.) you are running on a very good tire. The real differences in the brands is the feel of the tire not the grip levels. You're just getting fed opinions. "I went down on Dunlops so they're a shitty tire." is not a valid argument. plus, you're sitting here saying they suck when you've never tried them, lol.

Now this is the second assumtion you have made that is totally wrong... first one was that I was getting my info from some forum...now this time its you saying I heve never tried dunlop tires on a bike. Why dont you try asking, before you assume??

I have ridden a few bikes shod with Dunslops.. I have experienced their twitchyness first hand. Thank FSM I never went down because of them.
