Hi guys,
Just wanted to add my 2 pence worth really.
I've used Michelin tyres on my last 5 bikes, Bandit 12, TL1000R, ZX9R, ZX12R & Fazer 1000. I've had various different versions, Pilot Sport, Power, Power 2CT & most recently Road 3's.
Now here in the UK, Michelin's have the nick name of "Highsiders", which I think comes from the 80's or 90's when they weren't the best rubber to say the least.
But I'm not a bimbler in any sort of way & quite regularly do track days & found that the michelin's i've had have never let me down, they warm up very quickly and give plenty of grip and feel. The one & only down side to them I've found is the seem to have a grip cliff, not when cornering as such, but in the wear way, as in one day they will be perfect, the next day you'll seem to have no grip in the same conditrions & you know it's time for a new rear tyre. Admittedly I've found this is when you have less than legal limit of tread left anyway.
Well I'm sorry to have bored you guys, but I do like the michelins & all my m8's that have tried them have agreed me totally.
