Tires - what's your choice?
I don't mean to 
But, I'm looking for a recent perspective.
I happen to prefer the Michelin Pilot Road 2 CT for my '02 BMW K1200RS and my '01 Suzuki Bandit GSF600.
So, I just mounted a Pilot Road 2 CT 120/70x17 Front and a Pilot Power 2 CT 180/55x17 Rear.
Everyone is out of stock of Pilot Road 2 CT for the rear right now and I have a trip next weekend so I chose the Pilot Power knowing they won't last as long, but they will grip very nicely!
What is your choice of meats?
EDIT:
I put the new shoes to the test today on the famed Mulholland Hwy going past the (even more famous) Rock Store Malibu, Ca.
The bike feels like it is on rails!
I love these tires!

I noticed the tag to your signature + the year of your CBR & thought you (and maybe others) would appreciate this ...

I remember that vid, Thai! Very cool, and you did a great job on it! Thanks for posting it up again. 
As far as tires, right now I'm on the Pilot Road 2's and I'm loving them. I've scuffed the strips off a few times already, and with over 2k on them... they aren't showing any wear. Smooth and predictable... I think I've found a winner.
