Are we going to see nitrogen used in tires soon? I know it has been around for a while in other industries and I heard it is coming for public use in cars.
Is this going to be good for motorcycles or are there drawbacks. All I know about it is that the pressure won't change as tires heat up and cool down.

My friend supplies all the air gas for the Long Beach Grand Prix. Nitrogen is used in racing because of the lack of moisture, the predictable pressure change or lack thereof, and the fact that it will not blow up trackside.

Exactly my thoughts also.
After 1 kilo of grapes
I think I could raise [raisin] 31 psi
My friend is convinced that nitrogen is the way to go for his 900ss ie road bike. Personally i check the tyre pressures each time i go out, so i cannot see it would make much difference for road use.
