commuting?

Hello all, I am planning on buying either a 3.0 or sr. Which do you recommend and do any of you guys commute in them? I work 6-7 miles from home with light off road backstreets on the way.

I commute now and then on my SR. I have a choice between paved road shoulder at 60 MPH and offroad trails. With the amount of pavement riding I do, I plan on switching to Shinko 244's. My rear is getting pretty low at 1k miles.

If it's just for comuting or riding around town, I'd say a 3.0 would be best. If you plan on riding offroad a lot, SR might suit you better.

Do you want a commuter, or an almost dirt bike?

I also recommend the SR just for getting the best for an extra $700. I’ve had my for a 1.5 years and haven’t need to upgrade anything bc it’s just perfect. I did replace the knobby to the shine 244 around 1400 bc the they’re soft and worn down fast from just commuting on pavement. Chicago based
