Alfred Elizabeth City,  NC Great Tire Great tire for the money. This is the second set I've had. I have gotten better mileage on them than any Dunlop 207/ 208 , just as sticky, and good in the rain. I can't wait to try the M3's.

Craig hunt Bad Axe,  MI sweet The tire has awesome handling and grip behind my cbr 954 it goes when I want it to, no hesitation to torque up and show off. The tread pattern is nice but I only have about 1200 miles on the tire and it is about half wore out I may go to something a little harder next time and just ease off the throttle a bit.

Brooks Portland,  OR OEM Tire for BMW K1200S Outstanding customer service! Order shipped out four hours after the order was placed. I received the tire the next day. Tire works well in all conditions here in the Pacific Northwest. Good high speed and wet weather handling. Dealer tried to sell me a M3 with a Z speed rating 149 MPH for forty dollars more. M1's have a W speed rating 168 MPH. Keep up the good work Motorcycle Superstore you guys are the best!

Josh Clever,  MO Wear out fast, really poor in cold weather, square off after 50 miles. I purchased only the rear tire; it matched my OEM Bridgestone front tire, which made my bike nervous and generally unpleasant to ride. The tread pattern caused the tire to square off almost immediately even though almost all of my riding is done on twisty hills and it only lasted about 3k miles. The tire is very sticky once warm (takes longer than normal to warm up) but the feel characteristics are poor, going from total traction to total loss of traction where my Bridgestone tires had very predictable grip (generally low) but at least the Bridgestone tires never high-sided me with very un-aggressive throttle input even in 50 degree weather and two slow miles of warm-up.

Nick Bethesda,  MD Sportec M1 I have been using the M1 on my bikes for a while and for the value (I have always been able to get them cheap through Motorcycle Superstore) they are great street tires.

Nathan Orting,  WA Not Bad This tire has excellent grip and good wear life. A good buy for the money. I don't care for the front though, not much of a confidence maker on twisties. Warm up time needed on both but more so on the front.

Speich San Francisco,  CA A Great Tire in General I used to run Michelin Pilot Powers, but I found that during the weekday commute they would wear a flat spot easily; great tires nonetheless. I ended up buying a bike that had Metzeler M1's on it and I'm now on my second set. These are great tires. The tires are on a liter bike, and I commute during the week and ride the canyons once or twice a week. In commuting they are very reliable and have great traction in dry and wet conditions. The tread is plenty deep, and redirects water very well. I've not had any issues with loosing traction due to the tires. On the twisties these things stick. They heat up quickly and keep a good amount of even heat in them. I run a 180 rear, which I find to be much more agile in the corners than the 190. That's one thing I really like about the M1's: they have great geometry and allow a nice lean angle without jeopardizing the traction patch. As for durability, my last set I obtained used with the bike, so I'm not sure how many miles were already on them. I ended up getting 2,000 miles out of the rear + whatever was on it already; the front took a nail and was replaced long before it needed to be. As of now, the new set is holding up well and it is harder to wear a flat spot in them compared to the Pilot Powers. The only thing I don't like about the M1's, which has nothing to do with their quality or performance, is that the rubber injection fingers are located all over the sidewalls. I don't know if this was just my batch, or if that's normal. Again, not that big of a deal, but not the nicest looking touch. All in all, great tires for a great price.
