Thanks for the response.
Somehow I always manage to get the odd duck from the dealer.  Shadow I had years ago (2009) came stock with Maxxis tires (which even then didn't sell street tires in the US)....and I loved those tires.  ..and now this guy with the Dunlops you can't get here.

From what I'm seeing looks like the only tires I'm going to find easily are:
Metzler FeelFree (I guess these are actually the OEM tires now).
Bridgestone BattleAxe SC2 (rain or regular).
Shinko SR 567.

So, really think it's probably a choice between the Metzler and the Bridgestone.
And then rain or not on the Bridgestone.

I've had the Dunlop's on the Kymco for just shy of 12k.  Not quite to the wear bars on either, but getting there.  How long have you had those on the Berger? 

I'm feeling the rains are the way to go, but wondering if any concerns in the hotter weather.  I live in TX and do ride when it's over 110 out.  What's the weather like where you're riding?

Thanks so much for pointing out the obvious.  I've been thinking plastic vs metal rather than matte vs gloss.  Haven't ever had a matte finish on any of my bikes and last scooter I owned was in the mid 90s (and pretty sure it was also a glossy finish, but if I ever washed that one, I certainly don't remember it, hehe), so not something I'm used to thinking about.  Thanks again for the replies.
