Great quality tire for combination riding/commuting
Great tire, super transitions out of corners and sticky enough to get you out of trouble when you go in a little hot!

I just ordered my second one of these for the rear on my 2005 bandit 1200s. Extremely great handling. I regularly ride through twisty roads at high speeds and feel comfortable going around pretty decent curves at over 100 mph. The center wore down pretty quick, but I love opening it up in a straight line sometimes. It's always fun to see how fast I can get going before barreling into another nice long curve in the road that can only be appreciated at high speeds. Overall, great tires for the money. Soft compound makes cornering great but don't think you're going to be able to slap these on and start diving into the curves like you're in the isle of man. Know your limits before you take these suckers into the corners hard. I've crashed more than once because of putting too much trust in my tires and not enough focus on weight distribution.

great tire not a full lean track tire though
i bought this set front/back for my gsxr750, they were really sticky for the road and can be used on the track. but they are not full lean tires and start slipping a little on the track when you get too low or the tires get too warm. but my road rides are amazing and they work on the track too. not to mention the price was great.

Great tire for the price!
I was looking around for tires for my 02 CBR F4i. These fit and ride great, I just got them installed today so i'm taking it pretty easy but you can tell a world of difference from the stock tires to these. I ordered these late Tuesday night and recieved them Thursday morning fast shipping and tires were in excellent condition. They don't ship in a box just the tire itself comes but my tires didn't have any defects and were in great working condition when they arrived. If you're looking for a great tire and a great price order these! These were almost $30 more then any other retailer online and the shop I got them installed at were even more!

Sticky, sticky! Nothing compares...
My 2004 Yamaha R6 orignally came stock with some Dunlaps. I replaced my rear with a Pilot Power upon a motorcycle shop's recommendation and I was amazed at the difference. These tires are super sticky. I live in the Northwest where there's varying pavement types, dry to wet weather, and plenty of traffic. These tires are responsive for emergency manuevering, work great on sharp lean ins with the rubber sticky down to the edges, and they don't need to be excessively "warmed up" before they are sticky. My last rear lasted decently and I'm happy to repurchase a replacement and add on the fronts as well. The merchant I purchased it through shipped it free and within the time frame promised. I'm very pleased.

Good tires!
I got these for my Kawasaki zzr 600. And i'm impressed! Definitely much better than the Metzeler Sportec M3's or the previous Dunlop tires i've owned, in my opinion. It has noticeably much better grip, even in the wet, than the Metzelers (M3). Therefore much more confidence inspiring when i ride. The rubber quality is excellent. I say the tires have a "bounce" to them. I get a good feel of the road when i ride, so the overall ride experience is much better. It's so good, it's like i have a brand new bike! I can't speak for the longevity of these tires (i've only put about 1500 miles [2414.016 km] on them so far), but if you're looking for some good rubber for your sportbike, check these tires out.
