Shinko 009 - Dusty NY
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Consistent and forgiving handling. Good wear.
Cons: None.
The Shinko 009 is more geared to the sport touring crowd than the hyper-sport rider. Due to their profile initial turn in is slower but they neither fall into a turn or try to stand back up like some pure sport tires. Keeping that in mind, these tires are very good. Their grip is the same wet or dry. If you have to change your line mid- corner or get on the binders due to misjudgment not an issue. I've used these tires on three different motorcycles, the current one being the rather heavy FJR 1300 and still get a solid 7000 miles out of a rear and generally the front will survive two rears.Most people overlook these tire because of their price or name and that's a shame.

I ride a BlackBird "97" and I have no problem with these tires I don't ride too crazy but I would buy another pair no problem!

I have them on a BMW R1150RS and they have performed great. Rode lots of twisties down in TN / NC area and then a four hour ride in pouring rain. The tires worked flawlessly. No complaints so far. Have 3000 miles on them and I'm hoping to get my normal 6-8K.

Not a very good tire. Bad response in steering and doesnt take corners well.
