-Id agree though It seems the michellens are the hot stuff this year

I'm pretty happy with the Metzeler Z6's which I've got on at the moment.

Far out, maximum lean angle of over 50 degrees.
How long do a set of those last?

depends who's riding and what, but anywhere from 30 secs to 5000km

if spend 50% time commuting, go Pirelli Diablo Strada on back, Pirelli Diablo on front.... those Z6's arnt bad either

Yeah, but does your bike have a lean angle of 50 degrees?

Not a chance!
I find that the Z6s seem to be running out of angle at about the same time as stuff starts scraping.

I think if I put Pilot Powers on my bike i'd feel compelled to change my name to Chickenstripstar.
