    Bob, I was looking at the General G-Max after reading the good review you gave it but fell into a deal on the Yokohama.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    You can't go wrong with either a summer or winter tire on the back of your F6B. Buy the tire that predominately fits the climate/weather/riding that you're in.
