I've just fitted a set of Michelin Pilot Road 3 to the Fazer and it has totally transformed the ride, handling and braking of the bike.
I had no idea that the OE tyres were so poor until I upgraded them today. The bike no longer falls into bends, it now 'rolls' and feels planted to the road. It doesn't shimmy over white lines and the rear suspension feels less 'loose' on choppy roads when banked over. I've had a few heart stopping moments especially on roundabouts when the front has lost grip in the wet but these things are incredible.
These are my initial thoughts having covered one hundred miles on un-scrubbed tyres in the wet. If these things last as well as the reviews suggest I'll be chuffed to bits.
Oh and no I don't work for Michelin.
