Many know I changed a little while back and I love the PP's
Amazing new found confidence when they were fitted.

sorry, bit daft, can someone explain the heirachy of Michelin's from race to touring?

Power Race
Pilot Power 2ct
Pilot Power
Pilot Sport
Pilot Road 2ct
Pilot Road

am I close, and can people tell the difference between the Power and Power2....I think I just ordered a Power for the front. I don't lean very much....still learning!

I can't really confirm your heirearchy other than it seems mostly right (not sure where the sport comes in)

I have a Power front / Road rear and that combination is way more capable than me. Changing to a 120/70 on the front was the real difference for me.
The "Tourer" rear does mean I need to exercise a little more caution until its warm, but I get way more like from it as compared to the softer Power.

I really guess it depends what drives you - if you do a lot of commuting, then go a more touring centric tyre like the Road - doing track days, lots of people would be more than happy settling on a set of powers from and rear. No FHE on the dual compounds - they sound good, but is there any catches / caveats (other than perhaps cost?)

ive been doing a fair bit of research on this spider ,asking questions here and abroad , and after getting all the feed back it seems the pilot power are still the go , the 2ct are more track orintated ,they take longer to warm up and milage is about the same , they tend to suit the hyper sports bike better ,and as for the 52 leen angle i dont think many of us would do that on roads  cheers bazz
