You can type Ivan's flash in the search window to get his info, i do not have it right off the top of my head. Yes, my bike is an 05 also. Black Cherry, i bought mine brand new. Welcome to the forum.
Nope, just a standard bike tire that came from the dealer, I think it's a Bridgestone. I was thinking of going car tire when I have to change them but I'm unsure how it affects the handling. They do look mean, how are they for cornering?
