FJ1100 tyre recommendation

Hi!

I just registered to the Yamaha Club. Last june I bought my first bike - 1985 Yamaha FJ 1100. I have already done some 5000 kilometers (3000 miles) and now I need to change the tyres. The sizes are 120/80 - 16 and 150/80 - 16.

I would like to get some advice from more experienced FJ riders. I'll buy either Pirelli Sport Demon or Conti Sportclassic.

Which one of these models is better?

I mean with better leaning angle and better grip. The durability is a little less important for me. The bike shall be ridden on not that perfect roads - potholes and sometimes slippery tarmac.

Thank you in advance!
