What is the difference between D207 and D208???

PS. Nice piccie - I used to have a VFR800. Quite a good bike, if a bit lardy

207, 208, and i see max said 209, all the same diffrent incarnations, 209 being the latest and greatest, youll still get the 08 and 07 in a few places but if the 09 is out that wont be for very long...

VFR yeah very lardy BUT it impressed the sh*t outa me, it really dose what it says on the tin, That pic was with 020's on touring tyres.

So....it sounds like the D207 / D208 / D209 GP is the tyre to go for. Just to confirm - these are better then my current GPR70's? I was hoping to get the last bit of wear out of my GPR70's to help evaluate the next tyres, but won't get on track till next year now...so might just replace them anyway.

On the subject of the VFR800, they sure are a very capable bike - the engine is a peach, and they go right over for what is quite a heavy sports tourer. It just needed a lighter, sportier frame etc, but then I suppose you'd have a RC45.
