I'm going to get new rubber on the Busa tomorrow and was hoping to get some feedback on these tires before. I'm planning on getting a Pilot Power for the front and a Pilot Road 2 on the rear. I always ran a combo like this on the XX with good results. Anyone run this combo? Feedback?
 
Thanks for the input guys.. the only reason I am going with the Pilot Power on the front is because the tire is free under the service plan that I got with the bike. The seller had a 36M service plan that included two free tires and that plan was transferred to me; and has one tire remaining (as well as all scheduled maint till the end of next year). The dealer only gives you a choice of a Pilot Power or Duncrap. So I opted for the Pilot Power and will do the PR2 in the rear.
 
Yeah, I would take the free tire and run the pilot road 2 on the back. I have em front and back on my 1000 and when I get a busa it will be done the same.....

Well, I always runs a sport in the front, and a sport-touring in the back. Was more looking for feedback on how the 2ct's handled on the Busa. It is a torque monster after all lol.
 
I've had Pilot Power 2CT's on both wheels for about 1500 miles. They are a huge improvement over the stock BT-015 tires. The Michelins tip into the twisties a lot easier and don't let go. They're not flattening out in the middle at all yet. My rear tire will probably hit the wear bars on the outside edges in the next 300 miles or so, but the middle still has plenty of life left in it. I do tend to carry speed through the curves and accelerate early on the way out, so that's a huge factor in the outside treadlife. The Smoky Mountains are my playground, so it just depends on what type of roads you'll be on and how you ride them. I'd rather buy tires more often than risk a harder tread compound, but that's me.
