Test ride reportGot the Dunlop Q3s mounted, set the mode to Urban for the first 50 miles. A handy way to ease break in; kept the speed down below 55 too. Then back to 'enhanced' Touring, and a quick lap of Ortega yesterday.First, the Q3 rear is about 1/2" bigger in diameter than the Scorpion, so I reduced the rear preload a bit to compensate. The bike feels like it's on rails now, with much better grip and stability. Turns better, too. Got to about 1/4" of the edge right away. And my wife, riding her SV, commented on how much less 'squidgy' the front feels, compared to the Rossos. So that makes 4 bikes that I've fitted them to, including my now-sold Buell. They performed equally well on all.And they're even made here in the USA...
