Yes they are road legal.

However they will be toast in less than 1800 miles in expect.

Just had some of these fitted to the 675, so far they feel very good, £220 front and rear fitted.

Every one at work was impressed with the (lack of) tread.

I'll probably regret getting them shortly when I have to replace them after doing so few miles!

Edit - I'm also going to hate them in the wet....most likely....anyone used these in the wet...are they as bad as they look like they are going to be?

I have a supercorsa front that was used daily through the snowy spell a while ago. Better grip than the old rear that has lots of tread.

Remember as this is on a DRZ-SM, he's going to have 33hp or so, so will have less chance to abuse tyres.
Supercorsas can suffer from heat-cycles it seems, but unless you're riding like a complete-nutcase everywhere all the time, it should be less of an issue than on bigger bikes.

Do check what tyres you can fit in there too - I think the standard tyre for the SM is a 140?

Had Supercorsas on the 848 when i bought it they lasted nearly 4k miles before being too squared to use.

Replaced them with Corsa III's which seem to work better on the road in all condition, get warmer quicker etc and no issues with reduced grip thus far.

Road bike for me is with normal Diablo's, I find them very good. It was a change from dunlop 208s and it was a completely new bike. Got some Diablo supercorsas to try on track though cant wait give them a dabble Very Happy

£220 fitted is a damn good price, the tyres alone should run to about £260 Thumbs Up
