Advantages: Range of compounds available, good grip in a straight line, cheap Disadvantages: Poor durability and poor cornering grip
I've had D208s on two bikes, a Honda VTR1000F Firestorm and a Triumph T595 Daytona. Both had the standard D208, not the RR or the SP versions of the tyre.
The Honda came with the Dunlop as standard fitment from new in a 180 section, the Triumph had a 190 section put on briefly as an aftermarket supplied item. The Honda got through three and a half pairs, the Triumph just the one. Before anyone asks why I kept the standard ones there were two reasons, firstly the tyre shop recommended them for the VTR, secondly they never wore out as a pair, the front lasting about 1/3 longer than the rear. I only change brand as a pair and the front was always too good to just bin.
For me there are three categories of factors when judging a bike tyre:

Cost

The Dunlop has a bit of a split ...
Advantages: A good idea for reworking "Rear Window"... Disadvantages: ...but it had a poor script and lost a lot of what made the original plot so good
Rear Window (1998) - FILM ONLY REVIEW
Certificate: PG (UK)
Running Time: 89 Minutes
Director: Jeff Bleckner
Voyeurism is the act of observing the lives of others, often, though not always, for sexual gratification; it is a process by which the observer gets more satisfaction from viewing others than from experiencing their own lives. There is a little bit of this tendency in all of us, as what is watching a film if not opening up a window on the lives of others, be they real or fictional? It is no surprise, therefore, that the film industry has from time to time chosen voyeurism as the subject of its stories. A widely regarded classic of the theme is Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film "Rear Window", an engrossing and suspenseful examination of what it is like to be a voyeur, first enforced by circumstance and later pursued ...

Advantages: None. Disadvantages: Gameplay, graphics, sound, longevity, value for money and multiplayer functions.
ATV Quad Frenzy is a racing game on the Nintendo DS where you race on a quad bike. It's also boring.
GAMEPLAY
You can either play a quick race, in the championship, where you get virtual money which you spend on your bike, play multiplayer or practice. It sounds OK, but it's poor.
GRAPHICS
The graphics on ATV Quad Frenzy are OK, but could be widly improved. The graphics are also really basic and there's no detail at all!
SOUND
There are a few music tracks on Quad Frenzy, but they are simple and not much work has been put into them.
LONGEVITY
The game will last you about 1 hour, then it gets boring, even with multiplayer! It's lame and dull!
VALUE FOR MONEY
You can buy this game from Amazon for £6.44, this may sound good, but it is still bad. I'd price this game at 99p-£1.99.
DIFFICULTY
You should get used to the controls ...
