Gonna hafta get a set of rubber for the Kwak. It'll be social and pleasure only, no commuting. Wet weather will be very infrequent, if ever. Not looking to set lap times, just want something that'll stop when I tell it to, grip when I need it to, look decent, and not cost £lol.

Any suggestions?

Ta :)
 
Roadtecs, Road 6, something something. I've tried most sports touring tyres over the last decade plus, and finally decided i'm sticking with Road 6 until the cows come home. And I haven't heard from them in months.

But saying that i'm riding a fatty GT that eats tyres, and half the benefit of the 6 (as compared to the 5, and the others I've tried on either this or the K1300) is the life of the rear. The other half is that it wears delightfully and is very much confidence inspiring. I've occasionally tried stuff like the Metzeler M9RR or whatnot, for the fun, but now I can ride properly I don't need hilarious turn-in. I just turn in.

I don't think there's a bad tyre in the main brands, just personal preferences/subjective opinions. Like mine :D.
 
If you can still get them I had no issues with the Angel STs on my SV and Bird. Very cheap for a decent tyre or they were a couple of years ago.
