PILOT POWER 2CT

my go to tyre on my last few bikes.. 04 R6 09 FZ1 20 Street Triple 765 . just ordered a set for my 24 Speed Twin 1200. generally ride in all weathers when time allows and all year round. thought about trying a different tyre but while still available, cannot fault them

Drive them for 2 years (~15 000km) on Bandit GSF650. I am very confident with those tyres because the feedback is excellent. When the tyres are cold, you can feel the on/off grip but they are very predictable. When the tyres get warmer the grip is very good for big angel and emergency braking. For those 2 years I had only 3-4 danger situations when the road surface is bad (bad and polished asphalt). The wear is very good(I am riding alone without passenger) in Bulgaria, Romania and Greece with 5-35 Celsius temperatures.
Never mind that the tyres are old and 60-70% wore out, If the road surface is good, I still can be confident for fast corners and sporty driving.
The wet handling is also good but not so good as dry(which is normal...). I will buy another set for my future trips.

SMOOTHLY TOURING DRIVE

I'm from the UK and bought a 2005 SV650N with Pilot Power 2CT (front and back) and wouldn't recommend them. In the dry they are confidence inspiring, and the fronts provide excellent grip and feedback until the bike is tipped in hard. They hold the line well but the rear starts to kick-out when accelerating hard out of a corner.
In the rain is the downfall of these tyres, the fronts remain predictable but there is no communication with the rear (I compare these to Pilot Road 4s). Grip is either on or off; several heart racing moments have taught me lean as little as possible in these situation. In damp conditions these tyres redeems themselves and communication on the rear improves allowing for more confident riding, with front generally holding it for the team.
I have ridden these tyres through Storm Arwen on snow and ice conditions and can actually say I was really impressed, very hairy I thought I was a goner. Haven't come off on these yet.

I have a Yamaha R6. It's a fast bike, but I drive slow. However, there was a test.....I was recently in a winter rain storm (an "atmospheric river event") where the bike had to get me home through a truly awful amount of rain through an hour and a half of city and then highway travel. . I was not sure I was going to make it in one piece, but the Pilot Power 2CT kept me safe and sound......no traction issues. I was amazed.
I don't know a lot about the different kinds of tires, but these Michelins saved my tail when I needed them. And other riding has been fine, although, as I said, .....I drive slow.
