I've got miserly tourettes and I don't give a fuck.

My 750 will be needing new tires soon, might give the s20s a try.
Thats expensive. As mentioned in previous reply, Honda Hamilton have 190 rear S20's for only $299
I've just checked thier advertising. Honda Hamilton (next to Speights pub, north end of Anglesea Street) has S20 tyres FULLY FITTED for the following prices, ON ANY BIKE....
180/55 & 120/70 - only $501
190/50 & 120/70 - only $502
190/55 & 120/70 - yep you guessed it, only $503
and if you don't live near Hamilton they will freight them FREE for only $499 a pair in any of the 3 size combo's above.
When you say PR2 and PR3 I assume you are referring to the Michelin Pilot Road 2, and Pilot Road 3 ? These are both awesome tyres. I run only Michelins on my own bike, not tried the Road3 yet though.
I have heard, and read, that the Road 3 tyres are AMAZING in wet weather - should be a great winter tyre, or year round touring tyre. Not really comparable to the Bridgestone S20 though as it's intended for a totally different type of riding. The S20 does share the PR3's awesome reputation for wet weather grip and handling though, so a great winter sports bike tyre. For a Gixxer of any kind the S20 is definately the way to go if the owner has intention to do any track days
(just to clarify, I'm a bike mechanic, so I get to hear a lot of opinions about tyres from lots of different riders)
At the Bears racing at Ruapuna last weekend TSS had some crazy cheap deals going on these tyres.
Crikey that's some decent mileage from a proper tyre!
I don't think my Pilot Power is going to manage 4000km, let alone 5 on the 600. It's done a little over 2000km and a wet qualifying at Manfield on an SV and it's getting ready for replacement, seems to eat out the sides pretty fast (could just be me running shit pressures, suspension and rider)
