i got both ends of my er6 (120/70 x 17 and 160/60 x 17) in pilot 2's for $400 fitted at the blacktown team moto.
but if the price scares you, look elsewhere
google tyre search
phone them and ask for a price!

Spunjbaall,

I know this is late - but stick to the diablos for the Z1000 - obviously shop around. I upped my rear to a 200/50 corsa. She rode much better and looked a fat arsed bike. Had to repalce my tyres in Darwin after a track day at Hidden valley - got fleeced, no where is more expensive.
