Metzler Sportec M7 RR come very close.

These do seem to be a little not the norm but I am glad to see that I am not the only person riding them

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.

Since i've had the PR3/PR4 combination i can honestly say i've never felt such grip before compared to any other tyres i've ever used, even in the wet.
Only issue i've had which is getting a bit annoying now is a slight leak of air again from the rear PR4. I've already taken it back once before to have the rims sealed properly, and the valve changed, but it's recently started losing air slowly but surely again. Nobody has mentioned any damage to my wheel rim so i'm not sure why it's happening again. I've looked over the tyre thoroughly and can't see any signs of damage or a puncture so i'm guessing it can only be the rim where it's leaking from.
Fortunately i have access to an air line at work and can use it whenever so i'm not too concerned right now, but when the weather turns cold i'll probably need to address it properly again.
