Greetz, Hans.

P.s.: for the rear, I'll get a 140 instead of a 130, seems to be better...?
I had K60 regular 130 and running now on K60 Scout 140.

the regular 130 was actually more a 120, very good otherwise and I filed my impressions about it on the tires thread. the 140 is at 5.5-6k right now, I had quite a bit of road riding with pillion and luggage with it so by now I worn it to the reinforcement band... I liked it so far, front is still the regular K60 but will change soon, is not very worn but the way it got warn is very irregular.

You won't get the mileage you get out of the Tourance from the K60 Scout but if you get offroad often is a better tire. 130 vs 140 - you'll get instant speedo healer when the back is new there's something like max 3-4km/h error at 100km/h. Also beware that the bike will get a bit taller... otherwise I haven't noticed anything unusual.
