i have a set on a 2003 gsx-r 1000 they feel great better than stock, would buy again. on my set(front came from north carolina,rear from california)u may notice it more if the cbr is less buzzy than the gixxer

I've got a pair as well.  Haven't noticed any vibration, though.

I just thought of this...have you checked your suspension setups?  Make sure both fork legs are at the same setting for compression & rebound damping.  That might be the cause of the bad vibes.

I just put the same tires on my 04 CBR600RR and have had the same problem when Im at about 120mph.(strange)Other than that they are the best tires Ive ever used......Really sticky!!!!I can finaly lean it all the way over on its side with out worrying about low or high sideing on a sharp turn.More than I can say about the dunlop D208 I used before

What kind of bike did you put them on?

I mounted them on my '01 929.  I've ran them up to a true 117mph. I haven't noticed odd vibration at that or any other speed. It's definately an interesting result that you and the other fellow have had vibrations. I'll be interested to find out what it is, if anything.

And I do indeed love the way these babies stick.
