Pilot Roads came as standard on the SV1000, (on the naked, the 'S' = Pilot Sports), I thought they were great, sadly I got an unrepairable puncture in the rear at about 4000 miles, (plenty left on the tyre), and a pair of alternative tyres was a far better deal than a single rear Pilot Road. That's the only criticism I'd make of these tyres; they're expensive.

Check out this Web Link http://www.michelin-us.com
I know this is a USA Web link, but they have very good information available for all Michenlin tires.
I know the Pilot Road will be my next tire of choice.
Cheers!
