my understanding is that bias-ply is really only beneficial for heavier, touring bikes. so maybe if you do a lot of straight line traveling with a passenger and loaded luggage, i could see bias-ply being preferred over radials.
I have Raider wheels on my Stratoliner and I have always run radials front and back. Currently have a Dunlop Elite 3 but have used Avon Cobras as well. Hope this helps.
