Nice sound! 👍
Are you happy with the Michelins? I don't like the Roadsmart 2 that came with mine, for riding in the rain. Had a few slides with them. I ride in all weather, but don't have snow here 😅

Yes, very happy with the Road 6's. Really don't have anything bad to say about them.

The OEM Dunbools that came with the bike (-23 model), no way I can ever recommend sticking with the for long.. Not that they're gonna even last that long. 😅 They were scary as hell on wet.
 
I had the Road 4 on my Tracer 7, a bike with alot more torque than the CB at lower/mid revs, and I was able to put more power down with the Tracer than the CB with Roadsmart 2, on wet. Just didn't liked much the front tyre on dry.
Now I'm considering the Road 6 for next upgrade, or maybe the Roadsmart 4, since all reviews say they've improved alot on wet.

I have no real comparison to current Dubools anyway so, can't say much except the ones I had. Those were sportmax d214's. A tire model from at least 10y ago, and even then it wasn't that good. 😅

I just don't understand why you'd wanna put such a poop tire to anything from a factory. Gives the bike AND the tire manufacturer a bad rep.

Costs. It's all about costs.
The tyre manufacturer gets rid of old tyres they have in stock, because no one buys them. And bike manufacturers are able to sell the bike at a lower price, since they've bought the tyres cheaper.

With chinese bikes with such agressive prices, all € make a difference.
