Hard to beat for the street. Real tire for real riders.
Best tires for fair weather riding. Phenomenal tires. Anybody with a bad opinion of these tires simply CAN NOT be trusted. Dual compound, hard rubber center increases travel mileage, soft shoulders have you scraping peg in the twisties. Unbelievably good and confidence inspiring. I got 7k before the cords started showing on the rear, stetched to 8k with care. Front could probably make it 10k but I replace anyway. Oh, and that's wear from big bore KAWASAKI torque, not childish, mouth breather burnouts. I run these on the last of the real Japanese Superbikes, the mighty KAWASAKI ZRX1200R. Also the killer Z1000. I simply LOVE these tires, I run them on every motorcycle I own. Are they good in the rain? I dunno. I keep a clean machine and dont ride wet. If you're a commuter who does, try the Road 6. If you're a fair weather rider like myself, who travels some miles to get to the twisties (like most Florida riders) buy these. Chicken strips are the sign of POSERS. These tires get down. You wont be disappointed.

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 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!

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.

Extremely great handling. I regularly ride through twisty roads at ...
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.
