Fitted to my Suzuki hayabusa 1300 always had Pirelli before fancied a change wow what a change from the go loads of grip I ride it like a super bike with in 5 mile knee down outstanding tire it's just got grip grip grip 10 out of 10 Michelin

Yamaha R1 4c8 2007 I run a 55 profile on the rear. Suspension set for fast road. As a road tire these are superb with enough side grip for knee down and warm up quickly. However the rear wears quickly in the centre which eventually effects handling. The front tire grip is faultless with even wear. A bargain

Excellent choice for twisty roads and track use. So long with the existing "set" have 8.000km's and are still 100% ready to race.... concerning the remaining Km's.
On the dry 10/10 but my surprise was huge on the wet, since the grip was very good for this category of tire. Handling on twisty roads is comparable to track use so is feedback. Only negative due to the "over" curve design the comfort isn't at the level of the overall performance. But other that the Power RS is a excellent choice for a combine way of use...!!! Well done Michelin!

Lasts for 7000-8000km only. Not the safest feeling, having tendency to slip aside in cornering and immediately getting back but not the feeling you want.

I've done over 800 miles on my set of Power RS tires. I fitted them in the cold and wet winter, the first surprise was that despite their look, the tires worked well on damp roads, even when still scrubbing them in. I try not to ride in heavy rain, so can't comment on that, but I road on damp roads a lot and the compound finds grip somehow. Warm-up is very quick, they never feel wooden, where you have to just trust the tire and hope. They give a comfortable ride, they're very stable and make the bike feel nimble. Enough about cold and wet behaviour, in the dry/warm conditions of spring these tires are wonderful - you will not run out of grip on the road. On my bike they do need 35/36 psi in the front and upper 30s in the rear, else they don't feel as good - I always experiment with pressures and set my suspension to suit, once done I absolutely loved these tires - nothing around, charge through some corners seemingly too fast, absolutely no drama, settled, tons of feedback, excellent. So is there a down side to such a great tire ? well I was hoping for 3000 miles from the rear, but at 800 miles I'm a good 1/3 through I would say. My bike's lost a lot of weight, but the engine puts out 1290 super duke type torque now, so it does work them hard - I just sit on the bike ! Will I buy again ? bloody right I will, although they have brought out the Power 5 now, but I don't think it's any more sporty... maybe a few more miles out of them ?

Before I tried this tire, I had Pirelli Diablo rosso 3 set. So i go to my mechanic guy, he changed the tires and as always said be careful for first couple of kilometers as the rubber is scrubbed in. I'm all prepared to give this tire a go, so I went to the local twisty road, that i am very fond of. Its about 3-4 kilometers of twisty roads. It has all the corners from twisty 180 deegre turns, to long fast ones.So as the tire is getting scrubbed and warmed up I can feel the grip coming in. It was scrubbed in so fast that after a few miles, i was giving it all i got on this excellent road. The grip on the front tire is fenomenal and confidence expiring. So I immediately knew that this is the best tire I rode to this date. The feedback is great, when you are leaned over and the tire is communicating with you on the handle bars. I was so excited, i was literally going as fast as i could. So lets check the bad stuff. I ride on a KTM smcr 690. That is a light road bike. A fun supermoto. I got 4000kms(2500miles) out of the rear tire. the front is still as new. I had a nasty highsider when the tires aswell as road were cold at the end of the season. So this is really a summer hypersport tire. Be careful when its cold outside and give this tire a little bit of time so it can get to operating temperature. I would recommend this tire to all fast guys on the road, aswell as intermediate fast guys on track. Wet grip is really not that bad, but i would not get this tire if i lived somewhere in rainy conditions. So let the tire warm up and then have a blast. One last thing. I figured that this tire is at its best when there is 25*C(77*F) or more deegres celsius/fahrenheit outside.

Without a shadow of doubt, the best tires ive ever had, i run them on a 2008 FZ1N which is heavily tuned and geared for racing. They are outstanding in dry conditions and i can feel them moving around, my talent runs out way before the tire does.

Ive done several track days on them and lots of fast road riding too, ive never had a scare on them.

Just make sure you warm them up as theyre not great when cold or in wet conditions.

I wont buy anything else for the forseeable future, theyre that good!

Think I may have found the holy grail of tires . Ridden my tuono v4 like I stole it for 1900 mlies on these and I am really impressed. The feedback on the limit is telepathic like they tell you their about to slide , you push further and they slide in a lovely controlled way. I have ridden on supercorsas , s20s . Sport attack 2 s and never got more than 1400 miles out of them but the power rs still has tread left at 1900 and will go past 2000 easily. My bike runs a 200 section which take some bottle to run right to the edge but the power rs will do it which I put down to the confidence inspiring feedback .

Had these on my Street Triple 675 during early Spring through until May.

Covered 4K miles in that time, majority fast road riding but also a bunch of motorway/dual carriageway and a touch of touring.

Dry grip is phenomenal, they really give you great feedback and just don't let you down in the corners. I can lean the thing so far over with these and just have total confidence that the tires will make it. My cornering speeds have increased 50% compared to my Pirellis. They feel like a stiff compound when you're riding normally, right up until you get the thing leaned over and you just get so much feedback - it feels as if the bike is better supported.

Never had either tire slip apart from some diesel on the road which I cannot fault the tires for. Literally never had a slip in either wet or dry, quite incredible compared to my Pirelli Diablo 3's.

They warm up fast and stay very warm, I find that as they warm the feedback gets better and better to the point where you feel like the road surface is transmitting to your handlebars/legs. Comfortable and very quiet for such sticky rubber, I've been impressed by how long I can ride on these without fatigue.

Wear - not great, but 4K miles out of a supersport tire is really no bad thing. I think the issue is that the wear is so uneven, despite not spending too much time on the motorway I've found that the harder compound in the middle of the tire has hit wear bars much earlier than anticipated. Again, compared to my last Pirellie Diablos, they are performing much better though.
