Yokohama are also one of the few manufacturers that produce high performance tires in the sizes that will fit the classic 900. I am about to get a set of 205x60/15 A520 fitted. The cost per tire is about £53 compared with a ridicolous £92 for Michelin pilots. The only downside with Yoko's is the fact that they wear out unbelievably fast. Don't expect to get much more than 15,000Km out of a set (including rotation). If you don't feel the need to go fast then I would fit the cheapest tires you can find or maybe something that will last a very long time like Continental (CH90 I think). Changes in European law should ensure that the unsafe cheap remoulds etc. are taken of the market so I wouldn't worry too much about tire safety in the future.
