Metzler Sportec M7 RR come very close.

Out of curiosity, what made you buy them when the PR3, PR4 & PR5 tyres have been so highly recommended on here for ages?

The M7RR are a sports tyre as opposed to the PR3/4/5 being a touring tyre. They enhance the handling and steering, especially on the 1000. One characteristic I like is that they are less inclined to stand the bike up when cornering if you have to brake mid corner. They last almost as long as the PR.
Don't get me wrong but the PR is a very good tyre and are presently on the 600 because I had swapped wheels with my son a few years ago when he cut a tyre on a broken bottle on a Saturday evening and he was getting boat on Sunday morning and he put a PR3/4 mix on before he gave back the wheels. (My discs were needing replacing and his are fine, (40000 miles compared to 90000) My carbs are still on his bike as he was have an hesitancy at 7000 when you open the throttle which we finally traced to a faulty Regulator/rectifier.
Once they are worn I will be going back to M7RR.
