Much though it pains me to agree with Art about CT's on bikes - There is a reason why a CT on salt may not be optimal. A smaller section tyre would be better - A V shaped one probably better still.

Pretty sure the CT is for one very simple reason - High Speed rating rubber (which I believe is required to run) without new rims.

That R3 needs a sump spoiler though - Salt damage - <shudder> - The front may even be a 120.

Indirectly - off road caveats excepted - Triumph is unwittingly condoning the DarkSide.
 
Yes, the salt factor makes me cringe. Love the look though and the add works...
