Lots of the current crop of retro style bikes (Royal Enfield, Triumph etc.) are fitted with them as original equipment.
They were fitted to my SC as standard, I found them very nervous to ride on and they seem to track on any road imperfections which was disconcerting, I managed fine in dry weather but hated them in any damp or wet conditions, the main attraction is their retro tread pattern- which might be part of their issues.
