    Perhaps not, but I'm telling you they do the job.

    I did a product review not long after they hit the shelves, it's on here in teh product review section.

    They give unbelievable feedback, and stick bloody well.

    And anyone is welcome to come for a hoon to see what sorta pace I get along at.

    Hey we are talking about shitcos here??
    A couple of years ago I got balled out for suggesting they were a good tyre
    Got laughed off of a thread for suggesting they were more than capable of keeping you on the road
    Bugger me, how perceptions change over time....or have the goods discussed improved in quality
    To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.

    I am only familiar with the type the OP is about. I have no experience with any other Shinkos, and will reserve judgement till I have unless someone I trust to actually test a tyre has an opinion.

    I have a 705 dual porpoise on the back of the TDM. The only thing I have sacrificed is the ability to scrape my foot rests, more due to a sense of self preservation than any lack of grip.
    A Gadgy I know with a Honda 900 which is his daily hack swears by Shinko's and uses every last millimeter.
    The big plus for me with the dual sports is I can get a pair fitted cheaper than a big name sport/tourer rear tire on the shelf which is fooked in 5000km. So yeah, no, yeah. I like.

    Am new to these radial tires damm they feel heaps better than old cross plys

    Thanks for that yeah the PIRELLI strada did feel nice tire , all money spent fixing this bike

    And its history being crashed am riding very carefully last thing want do is crash it .

    SO tip toe around corners well size the bike not sort bike i flick around in corners more like

    Just let it self go around never seem lean it very far

    But seem s to have lots grip even at the front so am happy, i might still replace the front with pirelli strada
