Shinko 011 Verge Radial Rear 200/50ZR17 Motorcycle Tire Review
So I decided to try these on my 2007 Suzuki Bandit 1250 after putting 6k on Conti Motions worn right down to the steel belt( I don't recommend doing this at all) and at Motorcycle Superstore's great price, thought I would give them a shot.First 200 miles were fine, good grip, no issues, like brand new tires should feel.
Then about or around 300 miles, tires seemed to need air daily, and no visible leaks I could find, hear or see.....
Now the front handles kind of squirrely, doesn't quite settle into the turn and the back frequently hops or seems to skip out, very unsettling to me, and I have lost all confidence in this tire. I can only describe them as kinda weird and unpredictable which totally shatters my confidence in their handling. I'm seriously thinking about trashing them and re-installing another set of Conti Motions.....so far this year, I have spent over $600 on 2 sets of tires which kinda of sucks, but the Bandit eats tires and I only got 2.5k on the OEM's.
FYI, Got my first taste of wet traction this past week as we had a typical liquid fog SF morning commute, roads slick as glass, and I was friggin terrified the whole trip into work.....
Wet traction could best be described as non-existent.
