Anyone here ever try the Shinko tires. I am a long way from replacing the stockers as I just got the bike. I had a friend who used to own a moto aftermarket business, his income was gear and tires. He sold the crap out of shinkos for all sizes of sportbikes because they were a big saving over the other brands. Motorcyclesuperstore.com has the front 110/70VR-17 front for $62.99 and the rear 140/60VR-17 for $86.99. Free shipping over $75 I have heard good things about them and will prob buy them when replacement time comes.
For a good review on these tires check out this post on another forum, it is simply the best writing review of anything I have ever read.
