I personally go with the Michelin PR3 only because my bike really seems to like them. I do ride hard through the twisty Missouri roads so I tend to eat up the sides of my front tires.
I had to replace the front at 5k but the rear is still strong.

 

+1
I have ran these and still do, great for highway miles, and then you can go ride the twisties if you want.

 

Great minds and all that Indy

 

I go with PR2 on both my bikes the other being a Blackbird. I can't fault them in any way.

 

I did like the PR2's but I wore them out much faster than the PR3's. And my front tire cupped badly with the PR2's whereas when I wore out my front PR3 there was no cupping

 

Bon matin Jacques!

I personnaly prefer the Avon Storm2 tires, i love them in the wet and once warm they grip very well, don't forget these are heavy bikes and with a softer compound they might wear very very fast. As for the Avon I have done 17000km with a set. And if you don't plan on putting the knee down on a track a sport touring tire will do.

On another note 180 fits perfectly that is what i have on mine,

To buy them I suggest Pete's superbike ( you can order trought the web) best prices around and I know a shop where they charge 18$ per wheel to install them if you bring the wheels . Where dealers might charge 50 per tire...

For parts I suggest Hamel Honda in St-Eustache as they are great on service.

For mechanical, the big stuff I get it done by Ami sport in Laval as they do great jobs ( Honda Cabada used them when they cannot figure a problem on a bike,he tunes a lot of bikes for racers) and he is not that expensive.

By the way if we arrive with both bikes in St_eustache, keith the guy from service will be jumping up and down as he loves CBR1000f!


Cheers!

 

Just put the Mich. PR2s on my 96, so far I love them, maybe 100 miles, smooth, grippy, have good feel. If they wear well I think i will be very happy. Got them on line for $264.00 shipped
