The Vespa is going to spend most of its time on paved roads. I’ll get one of the KLRs like the Rush Hour Rambler has if I want to do some adventuring on the unpaved road….

I’ll have to take a look at the SL60s. I know Kenda also makes some pretty agressive tires–they look like snow tires. For now I think I’ll keep the gravel roads to a minimum.

I have Pirelli SL60s which are a semi-knobby design and work quite well on “fine” gravel roads. Still a bit floaty when the gravel is very coarse (maybe 3/4″ or larger.)
