I like Pirelli's and Mihellin's. My one friend with 04 1000 is trying PP 180's, said the guy at the shop he takes his bike to told him to tryit out. And he said he's totally hooked on the 180 now. I'm not sure how safe or not safe it is, but he says it handles a lot better than it did on 190's with the same tire.
