Did these go up in price recently or am I imagining things?

Roughly £30 more expensive then Angels or Storms :/ (for a 180/55 rear)

I ran 36 / 42 psi on my curvy using these bad boys, Much better feel than the SV book pressures. Will be put them on the zx9 when the power give up.

Well I have got 11 000 miles out of the front and rear on the bike, they should good for another few 1000 miles yet.

Dunno really I just ride, I don't if weight makes a difference but I weighed myself yesterday I was 143lbs or 65kg. I expect my weight to carrying dropping.

65kg and dropping? That doesn't sound healthy, you alright?

Anybody using these, are they any good?

Pilot Road 2's are great Geodude!!
Really good grip in dry..fantastic in the wet. I am going to be putting a set onto my Hyper soon as I am not happy with the diablo corsa 3's on there. Have had 2 fairly large slips in damp conditions with them.

With the PR2's however I never once had a slip or confidence shaking moment.

Wear rate on them wasn't bad either. I think I was closing in on 5k on a set with still about 2mm to the wear rate before I sold the 749.

Cheers Mr Speirs just had them more than recommended by my local garage and instructors place. I think i will be giving them a try, mind you anything will be better than my square bt020's.
