Black and round will be just fine. They don't make bad motorcycle tires anymore.
Welcome to the forum. Not to be rude but you say this is your first motorcycle and you're talking of dragging pegs and sliding in the wet, I wonder if your insurance is as strong as your ambition. Good luck on your tire search and hope to see you around awhile.
Since this is my first motorcycle i have zero tires experience ......
Yep, C14 would have been my first bike choice as well.
My first bike was an 81 Honda SilverWing....500cc's of pure non-power. Didn't need to worry about tire performance on that bike...no indeed. LOL.kinda like your current bike! 😂
Except those OEM ones on the Concours
You know, I didn't experience any issues with those tires that I can remember.
You never know who (not naming names) comes in under an alias just to stir a little.
