The GPR's are still in production, and both are road legal. The 70 is mega sticky and will consequently wear quickly, whereas the 80 is harder so lasts longer but won't stick so well.
The 70 isn't so good in the wet, as there's lots of rubber and not much tread!
That bike is my one and only NSR, and is now back in road trim.
