I got in touch with Michelin Tyres again recently and gave them a bollocking for not including the Versys in their tyre sizing guide, here's their reply :

Once again thank you for your interest in Michelin.

I have the Pilot Road 2's fitted and I'm just looking to replace the rear one after 8,000 miles, the front still has about 2.5mm left so it can wait a while yet, these use the same dual compound construction as the 2CT sports tyres that you hear the sportsbike riders enthuse about, sticky edges for cornering and a harder middle for longer life, they have very good grip wet or dry, but the compounds are a little harder to give that longer tyre life.

Don't know why they mentioned the Pilot Road as they're just an older single compound version of the Road 2, the Power and Power 2CT (aimed more at sportsbikes) as the names suggest are a bit more sporty and stick like the proverbial especially on a track, the compromise though is that you only seem to get around half the tyre life, so the Road 2 is their first recommendation for an all round and economical choice.

Note the slightly higher than standard pressures, from my experience they handle white lines and grip better at the higher pressures.

Note also the wider rear tyre option for the Pilot Sport, this is aimed more at everyday "sports" riding rather than trackday use :007: no idea what life you get out of them.

And no I don't work for them, or get anything in return, I just like the tyres, "other tyre manufacturers are available" :2:

Ob das wirklich stimmt mit dem 180er, oder ob es vielleicht doch nur ein Schreibfehler ist weiß ich aber auch nicht. Du kannst ja mal bei Michelin in England anfragen.

also,

als vorteil haben die amis gesagt optik...
dann reifenwahl.
dann beim rausbeschleunigen mehr sicherheit, bzw mehr grip.

was du brauchst,
auf jedenfall die dickere felge, entweder von zx6r oder zx10r baujahre musste schauen, hams gleiche design.

dabei muss der Kettenradaufnehmer "irgendwie" verändert werden,
wie genau konnte ich net rausfinden.
sollte aber jeder mechaniker erkennen sollen bzw machen sollen, muss irgendwas gedreht werden.

ansonsten solls da keine großartigen nebeneffekte ala hochgeschwindigkeits instabilität etc geben.
