I've been running these on the bird for 300m the grip is fantastic wet dry cold roads they work so well straight from cold after only a few miles
they feel really good on the bird better even than vipers handling is very neutral
they are a sport tyre so what sort of miles they'll do I dunno prolly 2500-3000m
I'm not that concerned I'd rather have grip and these certainly do that

Before I got my 'bird I had a Triumph Daytona and had Pilot Powers on it - there was no appreciable wear after 3k miles. Much better than the Pirelli Diablos and BT-014s that I'd had on it previously.......

Exactly the results I'm getting on mine (at about 600 mi. now). Will throw a set on the wife's Katana next.

Yep I love my Powers as well. I get around 5,000kms from a rear. Grip is awesome even in the wet. Have just got home from the Snowy Ride here in Oz. Covered 3,000kms over 5 days and I ran the Pilot Road on the rear as I didn't want to wear out a new Power in one trip and the grip was pretty well on a par with the Power. It's only about 1/3 worn so should get good milage from it.

I gotta disagree with you there Oz I tried them a couple of years ago and although they were an ok tyre the grip and confidence level was nowhere near the powers wet or dry
michelin may have changed them since then though
