I have run the Pilot Powers for the last 6yrs on my 01,05 and now my 08,between all of them rackin up 60,000 miles of high speed sweepers and back road carving twisties,to me there is no other tire,especially if your aggressive layin the bike into the corners,they make your bike want to lean,the grip to wear ratio is aw some in my opinion,a huge improvement over the stock tires especially in colder temps,very quick warm up.I never noticed any twitching at high speeds,ran them when I went to Maxton,and I've had the 08 up to 193mph on gps,stone stable.If you haven't tried them yet you'll luv em,beat out the bridgestones for sure,good luck.
