I have to add that Michelin have massively shot themselves in the foot!
Why?
The road pilot 3 is absolutely perfect for a 600 (I also had 2 on my srad 750, increased pistons, gas flowed head and race cams!) the grip truly is very very good, it'll probably show its limitations on a track on a 750 and above being absolutely hooned, but for us fazerers its massively capable for our power output, not only that but I got 16000 out of the rear on the srad, and I do not hang about when the roads permit it! (I had 20000 out of the front!)
The price per tyre- you will not find another tyre that grippy that'll do that mileage,
So, overall, they cost a little extra to start, but £'s per mile x grip = nothing else is comparable in my experience!
Now, that brings me to throw a spanner in the works- I know there's already been conversations on here about tyres developed and matched to one another to attain maximum grip but for my riding style I put a sportier stickier tyre on the front, I was on pilot power 2’s which the feel from was just beautiful, but they don't come in our 110's, I'm currently looking at a front wheel conversion to a 3.5" rim because I liked them soooo much!
But (again) for your riding experience stick with the pr3's as a pair, they are way more capable than needs be on our roads and would only limit you on track if you was in the fast group!
