Forget Pilot Roads Mina. Jump onto Pilot Power
Mario will tell you how good they are. And I'll let you know how good the front is after my next ride. (I just got one fitted)
But in the end, its up to you
cool. i've heards they are an awesome tyre by almost everybody that has used them. i'm just not too keen on changing my tyre every 5000k's i would like a bit more wear than that.

I agree. My previous post was just an indication of my experience with different profile front tyres on my ZX6 & ZX9, not a suggestion to start messing around with tyre profiles. There really was very little difference between the two though and IMO - for front tyres on road bikes - you should fit the tyre size that manafacturer recommends.
Be sure to tell us what you think of the BT014 James.
