I've used the Metzeler Roadtec 01 on the Street Triple for a bit when I had it and they were great. Didn't get that much use out of them before the bike sold though, but they do get good reviews on a variety of bikes. That's probably what I'll fit on the VFR next. I like the Michelin Road 5s that are on there now, but constantly worry about getting punctures after having had two recently even though the tyres have only go a couple of thousand miles on and show no wear. Have heard reports from others that Road 5s are puncture prone too.
