The PR2 has been the best I've fitted on the Thou. Nearly 7000 miles out of a pair and consistent grip/steering right to the end.
Maybe not the ultimate in wet weather grip (if you believe the marketing hype about the latest generation of tyres) but available cheaper now.
:agree
PR2's are a better tyre than the 3's IMHO - unless wet weather grip is your aim.
Lingy is also spot on, most modern sport touring tyres will allow you to drag the pegs on a Gen 1 so more grip than that is just wasted unless you are doing track days.
I also ran them successfully on my K5 and had the pegs skimming on that at indecent speeds.
Have just stuck a new PR2 rear on my Busa as well.
And bearing in mind I run a bike shop and can have basically a choice of anything I want at trade prices then my recommendation is worth listening to.
Just to add some balance, don't fit them to a ST1300 if you enjoy enthusiastic riding, the heavy weight transfer under braking ovalled the front when I ran them on my Pan. BT023 GT's are the job for that lardy beast.....
