Off Road Tires on a Motard?
This question may have come up before; however, I'm an S4RS and 996 owner and know very little about the Hyper. I was wondering if anyone ever mounted off road tires and took a motard on the dirt?

I know a guy that just bought some full on dirt tires for his hyper. I don't think he has fitted them yet, but he intends to.
I also know some guys that run dual sport tires and take the hyper on dirt roads.

That's good to know, I'd like to hear some feedback once he's set-up and riding. I've been wanting a dual sport bike for sometime; however, being I bleed red like most of you I thought the Hyper would make a great dual purpose bike.

I'm going to take a WAG and say you would need to get different wheels.
