same opinion as i have.....It is identical to the 603......very road stable and i never had any problems with RR tracks ....but,then again i didn't do 50 miles on them...just 8......I still have the set as spares for off road,along with my K760's.....but my daily tires are still the D607's....Great on everything but DIRTBIKE tracks and trails.

Now I am just stuck between the K270, 606, & 607. So many decesions.

My 603's wore really fast. I replaced them with the 606's which are wearing a lot slower.....

The 606 is very stiff and a huge pain to mount. They are also heavy which can't be good for accelerating, braking, or cornering. They are better off road than the 603 but a little worse on road. Not sure how long they will last yet as I just put them on.

If you don't know what the 607's look like go to the Dunlop webpage....honestly.....They are an 80%road and 20& offroad tire....Tho they are the stickiest tires ive ever had under myself on 2 wheels.....they do awesome on dirt and gravel roads.....any kind of mud and forget about it...though the rear tire is very similar to the factory BMW 1200GS tire.....point is it works as a D/S tire....The front D607 (in 21" size) is more a sportsman supermoto tire.....but it works...and it works extremley well on all terrain but mud .....don't let the tread deceive you.....you can sink your fingernail into it it's so sticky but it wears very well!!!! 2200 miles on mine and just a slight hint of wear so far....The casting nubs are just worn off!!!!!!that's it...

I've been riding with my Dunlop D606 now for around 1000 miles. It seems to do great on the street, even hard cornering and just fine in the Arizona desert.

My 606s work a TON better than the stockers. Especially the front tire when it gets muddy. It's just a much better tread. I'm sure I'll try other DOT tires but front end washouts disappeared with the 606s. I do about 5% pavement.
