Actually I had bad experience with bridgestone.My 92 TDM850 had that tires.They are very hard.TDM`s absorber were too soft,and I had really problems ride in curve and stopping my bike.After 3000km changed with Metzeler,and I felt myself like to get a new good bike.Same was happened with 93 zzr600.After Metzeler all problems were gone.
So I had a bit worried with FZ8`s stock tire ,Bridgestone...No,its is perfect...
..Aspecially hard brake in city(ooo,no in Istanbul traffic..
),this tires are very good.I am glad,and next change will be again same tires.
Have nice day..
