    Suzuki GS500F rear tyre?

    Hi All,

    Looking at options for a rear tire for my bike. I was told that the best option is to match the rear and front and I need a 130/70 17. It has a near new ContiSport Attack on the front but apparently that has been replaced by the Attack 2 and neither are made in the right fitment for the rear.
    I have been to two bike shops and have been advised on another Pirelli Sport Demon on the back (it currently has one) and another shop suggested a ContiGo.
    I have had a look at sizes and the Pirleli Sport Demon, Bridgestone BT45, Metzeler Lazertec, ContiGo and Michelin Pilot Activ all have the right sizes. I don't know what to get as I use my bike for lots of around town riding during the week, most weekends go for a ride and every so often go for a long ride up to Tauranga. It is my only form of transport so I ride rain or shine.
    Maybe someone here could shed some light on the most sensible options?

    Thanks

    My order of preference would be the Lasertec first with the Sport Demon and BT45 second equal.
