HPX 200 Back Tire
I have always used Dunlop tires and decided to switch to this Michelin. I wish I would have made the change sooner. Almost 2k and the center of the tire is still round, no flat spot. I do a lot of highway commuting and my old Dunlops would have been 1/2 way shot by now. Wet, dry, it doesn’t matter, the tire holds its line.

Buy Them
Extremely happy with this set of Michelins. Not only do they look great with that unique tread but they grip like a mother (blank) !! I have them on a 03 buell lightning and cant drift in the rain anymore =(

Michelin Pilot Sport & HPX
My bike (SV1000S) came with Pilot Sport tires on it and I have never had any issues with them, no matter the riding conditions. The tires come up to operational temperature very fast, providing seemingly instant traction. Even when it is really cold out, they still warm up to provide good traction pretty quickly. The only reason I rated the tires a 4 on wet traction is because I know there are tires with more siping, like the ones racers use to race in the rain that would provide better grip in the wet. I am also sure there are tires that probably last longer too, but I can't complain with 6 years and over 7,000 miles logged before a new rear tire was required. The front still has several miles and years left in it. Even though it is recommended to change both tires at the same time, there doesn't seem to be any issues between the old and new tires.

Amazing Tire!!!
I bought my Ninja 636 with Battlax's on it. They were a good set of tires. But when I had the pilots put on with the HPX on back. People said my bike was too small for it but I wanted a good tire that would last. I went half a summer and all fall. I have ridden in a complete down pour and they performed like I was riding on warm black top. The HPX on the back made 170 feel smooth and completely stable. I'm buying another HPX rear because I rode mine to the cords. You can't buy a better tire.

Only had tire for a short time but am very happy so far. I was very impressed with the service I received from the motorcycle superstore.

Michelin - Pilot Sport HPX
I replaced the stock Bridgestones on my '08 Kawasaki Concours 14 with the Michelin Pilot Sport HPX and so far, I REALLY love these tires. They ride, handle and brake so much better than the bridgestones and was easily noticeable in the first mile I rode. I don't know if I'll get the same mileage out of the Michelins yet, but time will tell.
