Bought the bike needing a rear tire. Hell, it'll almost stand up on it's own from being so worn in the middle. I'm a hardcore Dunlop tire guy, always running DOT-race or latest sticky street hoops, but think it's not needed on the VFR. The front has a new 2CT but since I wasn't sure if that was to go with on the rear, I got the Michelin Pilot Power for the rear from JakeWilson.com. Also dropped off my bar and cones for static balancing at the machine shop to make a couple adaptors so I can balance the wheel off a single sided swingarm. Anyone have any gripes with this tire?

I usually run Michelins and found them to be a great tire for both mileage and grip. Although I usually run the Pilot Power3 front and Pilot Road4 rear. However, when I ran the Pilot Power 3 front and rear I was able to get at least 6k miles and this was on my 5 Gen with mostly canyon miles. As far as your specific tire, one of my buddies uses them all the time on his CBR1000R and he's never griped about them.
