    This is an observation I had after I switched out my front shinko verge 120/60 for a Metzeler M3 120/70. The difference is night and day. The shinko is a tire I would NOT recommend as my handlebars would shake a lot at certain speeds. As soon as I left the dealer, I tested my theory of having a bad front tire by letting go of the handlebars and letting the bike decelerate from about 70 mph to 30 mph. There was no shaking which confirmed my theory. I believe the shinko in itself is an okay tire, but it just didn't go well on my VFR. Please feel free to comment and I hope this helps a little when deciding to get a front tire.
