The scorchers always had a weird feeling when I was in a corner, I figured it was either the tires or the bike....previousbike was a 1200C.........anyways, when I installed the marathon 880's it went away. I don't know what it was about the tires, but I never liked the way they felt.

I have the scorchers that came with the bike. I never noticed any buzz or vibration but both tires are being replaced at the end of the month. Somehow I managed to wear them both out at the same time.

I don't understand why the MOCO decided to use a tire with such an annoying characteristic as OE. Michelin probably told them that buzz was a built in lean indicator. Handling is ok, as is mileage vs wear at this point, but that damn buzzing will force me to replace them with something else when the time comes. Makes me wonder what the suits with the big briefcases at Harley were thinking when they picked this one.
