Are city grips not available for the burgman? I've found them to be the best tyres for scooters, good wear rate as well.

So did I.. Well £87.10p (http://www.mytyres.co.uk/Motorbike_Tyres.html) and £20 at Watlings to fit to tmax. Pilot road 4's are very good wet grip and center stand grinding confidence in the dry! :-)

I have to agree that supply is not meeting demands for the pr4 for scooter sizes
