My dad has a 99 Honda CB750 Nighthawk, that has some old Dunlop K505 tires on it. The tires were in good shape, but recently they found a screw so we are going to replace them. He's not wanting anything fancy, but just a good replacement for the bike (not some off name tire), the Nighthawk is just a backup for his Kawasaki Mean Streak Special Edition. The bike still might get a couple of thousand miles a season, so he'd like something that will still get some decent mileage out of them.

The sizes on the bike are

F - 110/80/18
R- 140/70/17

I'd go back to Dunlop or maybe Bridgestone. The sizes may limit your options.:idk:

Michelin Pilot Activ BIAS-PLY Sport Touring Tires

Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 Sport Touring Tire



those are the only two after some quick searching that I could come up with, I'll have to do some checking tomorrow.

I have been using Metzeler Lasertec tires on my old Suzuki for years. I think they are the best bias-ply tires made.
