    wow and thats in miles

    I got 12000km out of a rear Pilot POWER 2ct - but thats constant trashiing. I think I will try the Pilot roads for the winter - looks like they may be very good or those guys in the states dont have any fun roads at all.

    Thier roads must be in top condition to get that sort of mileage, no chance of that here

    I found the change to Pilot Road 2's totally transformed the handling of the SV...for the better I might add...

    I don't see what the big deal is. Mine are currently on 17,000k and nowhere near the wear bars.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I replaced a 2cv Pilot Power rear recently with a 2cv Pilot Road. I was well pleased with the PP on the Buell but it cut the centre out some 20% before the sides. The Road is the same compound on the sides and a bit harder in the centre, so I went that way. It's exactly as I expected, very good, especially in the wet, but it's definitely more squirrelly on engine braking.

    The brother is near the end of his first set of Pilot Roads on the ZZR1200, he's very pleased with the feel and they've outlasted everything else he's used over the last few years.

    I think the side compound on the PR2 is the same as the standard Pilot Power!
