Regarding tires I have tried several brands and models on past bikes. I am with Chris in regards to my experience with Bridgestone’s. The Bridgestone’s that came on my Kawasaki were the worse tires I have ever ridden on but I agree with KevinX that a new model could be a different story. I also rode ME-880’s and they are a good tire but not as good as the Dunlop’s. I really like the Dunlop’s and have no reason to change yet.

If you plan to tour on the Vision as it is designed to do you should think carefully about going to the Bridgestone’s as if you are traveling across the country and need a new tire you will probably have a hard time finding a dealer that has the new Bridgestone’s in stock but you will find almost every Honda shop will have the Dunlop Elite 3’s in stock as well as many other dealers. A friend of mine put the Avon’s on his Gold Wing and while on a trip the rear one got damaged and he needed a new tire and could not find a dealer within 200 miles that had the Avon in stock but everyone had the Dunlop in stock and you don’t want to mix manufacturer tires on the bike.
