    i just got my first new vfr (love it!) i put 30k on an '03 superhawk and had really good luck with pilot roads, 6k ish on the rear, 9k ish on the front. when the stock dunlops wear out i'll install pilot roads.

    I run Conti Attacks and just used up my rear tire on the dragon and so I got 6,800 miles out of it. they stick great and never made me worry..The torque of the V4 will eat a rear tire quick if you ride like freddie spencer every day.

    man, I only got a little over 3000 miles out of my conti and it was showing threads. I'm gonna try and make this new one last longer, though. To my credit, though, I wore the last one all the way to the edges so I got my money out of it...I was just hoping for 5000 miles...

    Picked the bike up yesterday. Can't believe the difference between a completely worn back tire and a new one. Like night and day. The Pilot Power looks and feels badass on the bike. I only got a chance to ride the bike back to school, so just town riding, so I can't give any handling characteristics just yet, but it looks like it is going to stick like a son of a bitch. It basically looks like a racing slick with a few grooves in it, like cheater slick on cars. Probably not going to be the best tire in the rain though, I'll just take it easy. More updates to come after I really test it out this weekend.
