Good luck on finding a 1500 at that price with or without transport!

Shinko apparently bought the bike tire business from Yokohama tires (oem on Yamaha?? as I recall) ... from what I have heard, they are pretty good tires and less expensive than many others. Don't expect to get high mileage out of them... ie 5 or 6K seems to be the life expectancy. There was a recall on one model but that is resolved and didn't include the 240's I don't think.

Hello all,

New member here and hopefully soon to be new owner of a Drifter 1500. I was just curious if anyone has any experience with the Shinko Classic 240 tires, or Shinko tires in general? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thanks much!

P.S. Looking for a Drifter 1500 if anyone knows of any good deals around $3500-$4000 total, which would include any expenses to get it to Northern California as well. ... Cheers!
