Just saw these while browsing for some new shoes for the ol' girl. I think they just came out with these. Anybody ever ran Shinko's???

I think that they carry an H speeed rating. Not high enough for me. I would do some more homework on these before I'd experiment... better safe than sorry!

I ran a Shinko on my old Suzuki gs1000. It wasn't a bad tire while it lasted, but the rear hit cord at about 5500 miles. Several hard launches but no burn outs.
