Hi My brother recently tried go Scorpion Trail IIs on his suzuki V strom 650 (he's had all sorts of bikes and is a vey experienced rider). He raves about them in that they are very good on tarmac and don't feel compromised at all yet are very good for light off-road (loose gravel, unsealed dirt roads etc) .
In tight and twisty roads (tarmac) he keeps Tuornos and R1's and the like honest because of the grip he can get.
So maybe for it!
