This is a repeat purchase for me. I put one on my Buell Blast last summer and have over 8000 miles on it now. When it's done, I have the replacement waiting. The Shinkos outlast and have better grip than the OEM tires, in addition to being the least expensive option I could find. If pressed for a negative, I would admit that the tread design isn't as good at handling dirt, sand or gravel on the road as I would like it to be.
