Favorite tires on the 83 Honda 650 Nighthawk is the Michelin Commander II. Great grip and durability Nearly 24000 miles on the rear tire. A little less on the front.
Usually run two Dunlap rears at 8-10k to a single Dunlop on the front. The Michelin Commander II on the rear outlived the same model tire on the front. To be fair, I do most braking with the front attempting to balance tire life.
