+1 on tire opinions. It's basically a matter of (expensive) experimentation at $200 or more a pop until you find a brand and type you like (handles to your liking, lasts longer, etc.)
I have Avon Roadriders on my 750 and like the way they handle, but have had them only one season, so wear life is still a question mark. Stock Dunlops on the Wing but haven't had the bike long enuf to evaluate whether my next set will be the same type/brand. Etc.
