Hi guys New around here and new to biking, looking for a few tips...
I ride an 1993 YZF 750 and was wondering if any one can recommend tyres..
I intends to do some touring and can't see myself doing any track days...

I've heard a lot of good things about the Dunlop roadsmarts. Last long and good grip etc.

I had a pair of Michelin pilot power 2CT fitted last year and they certainly do their job. There's plenty of tread left for this years biking season too. If I don't give it to much throttle that is.
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Bridgestone 023's good grippy tyres that last for miles, very similar to Roadsmarts.
