I did notice that the Roll's tires, especially on the latest models, are nice and smooth, which I like for such big tires on a mainly-street bike.
Rode a friend's for a bit. It was more of an upright ride but it was just nice feeling bike going down the road. Those tires are what makes them cruise right along..
