pilot power - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I fitted a new set of Michellin Pilot Power tires and I can't belive the difference. To be honest I don't know any better than the stock Dunlops I had /on my gxxer 600 04/ The new tires are unbelievable. I lean a lot now and feels like piece of cake. this weekend I went out for a ride in the canyons around Malibu with some other bikers, and it was great to be able to keep up with the really fast guy, and to not break a swet. Now I go from edge to edge using the whole tire, If I had knee pucks I would've been scraping them.

Oh I wasn't wearing shorts- my LETHER AGV pants don't have such

I wonder is there anything better, and if there is, what more can it do?

After the first time I tried the Pilot Powers I am stuck on them. Used to go through a rear tire about every 2 1/2 months and this one has lasted 4 already and still has good tread on it. Plus the grip whether straight up or leaned. All around great tire

All the racers around around here are hooked on the Michelin's.
