By Briumph riding a Triumph Sprint ST 1050		April 14, 2012
Pros:	Great Grip/Handling, Consistent through out life.
Cons:	Short Rear Life on a bike with 80 lb/ft of torque. Fronts Cupped after 1000 miles.
Front and Rear are completely used up at 3700 miles...not so good for a sport touring tire. Other than mileage, this is a great tire and if you aren't aggressive on the brakes, these tires would likely be a perfect choice.

By Randy riding a DL1000		April 14, 2012
Pros:	Very predictable, good wet traction.
Cons:	Poor rear wear vs front.
I am not a particularly aggressive rider, but do ride fairly hard when up in the Sierras (I live outside San Francisco). I do 100% solo riding, andf have never loaded the bike to the limit. So my experience is really a middle-of-the-road one with these tires. I get into some fairly spirited riding in the mountains, and most of my highway miles are when I am in a flat out sprint eastward to meet up with friends in the eastern foothills. I'm faced with a very serviceable front at 6k miles, and a rear that has squared off in the last 1000 miles. I guess too much hard acceleration--when in the twisties the throttle is either off or pinned. I don't think of myself as a rider who would square off a rear from excessive highway miles, especially since the front is still evenly worn and looks to have maybe 3-4k miles left on it! But the rear needs to be replaced at 6k. Overall, zero surprises even though ridden through every condition imaginable...

By Robert Hughes riding a Kawasaki Concours 14		April 14, 2012
Pros:	They have tread... they came with the bike... they hold air...
Cons:	The rear slips out when accelerating in a lean(PUCKER!)... rear slips out on wet... rear just slips out... the front already shows the hard center strip compound (Pilot Roads didn't do this on my ST until 8-9k miles)...
Can't wait to put PR2's on!

Pros:	Traction wet is pretty good, dry is very good. When I am able to get out and drag the pegs, they seem to hold up very well.
Cons:	None
The ST is my daily commuter, 97mi round trip, half freeway, half parkway. The significant majority of my mileage is commuting, and they seem to hold up very well. NOTE that the OEM tires are the only ones I've had on the ST, so I cant compare them to others, but so far I have no real reason to try a different tire, other than for comparison sake.
