Default Dunlop GPRa11?

My local track (Eastern Creek) has a special on these for $399, on top you get a free track day thrown in.
What are these tyres like?

Not sure if these are the same as the tyres I fitted to mine for a trip from the UK to Germany (Black Forest Road B500).
Dunlop GP Racers D211, I put a medium front on & an Endurance Rear. They have been on since new as I took the Conti Attacks off before using them.
The bike has done just short of 3000 miles, 750 running in, 100 on the Dyno & the rest on the Motorway (to from Germany) & Thrashing up & down some great German Roads.
I have to say I'm a sucker for Dunlops & love these tyres. They have approx a third of their life left, most wear down to Motorway with luggage, just flatting off in middle. Not what you would call square!!
Feeling is great at full lean & at flat out speeds on Motorways. Slight wobble on front when hard braking, but could be down to Suspension setup or me moving around on the bike going into hair pins!!

I paid £330 for my set here in the UK. So if you are paying that in Dollars with a track day, they are a bargain!!

Forget the bit about hard braking & shacking. I just found my bike has two odd discs fitted. 18 drilled holes on one & 11 on the other between bobbins!!

Guess the different braking contact areas are causing shack not the tyres.
Thought it felt a bit odd!!!!
