It's too bad Michelin doesn't offer more for our 1st gen Ninjas.

The Michelin Commander 2 cruiser tire is extremely well reviewed, available in a rear size 130/90-16 73h, and seems to have a more sporting profile than most cruiser tires. Unfortunately it's a heavy 17.7 pounds and doesn't offer a matching size for the front.

The Michelin City Grip is well rated and the rear tire is extremely light at 9.6 lbs in size 120/80-16 60p. The light load rating, 93 mph speed rating, and just 2 plies, and focus on city speeds and comfort may be concerning.
