Are you talking the original 1980’s Phantoms or the latest incarnation?

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.
