I used the Pilot Powers before and they wore like iron on my '05 ZX10. Gripped and handled well too.

I have the new Michelin Pilot Road-2's, best tire ever on this bike. I am on my 8th rear. Ran Bridgestone BT0-14's, Avon Storms (also a good tire)
The Roads will stick like glue and wear like Iron, you will have the same grip as the Powers but close to double the mileage

Is that a 190-50 Road 2 or a 190-55? I want to switch to the 55 but I don't think Michelin has released a Road 2 with it yet.

I got 1300 out of my stock BT's. I moved to Pilot Powers and they're going to go just as fast. I'm thinking it's just the price you pay for a big motor.  Sucks, I know, but I love this bike.
