Any tyre is a tradeoff between grip, life, weight, and cost. Michelin got it right with this tyre.

Still lots of life left after 5000 miles and not flattened out in the middle. Excellent choice for my hypermotard 1100s and Northern California’s best roads

Michelin offer all round performance with pilot road 6. Had these fitted to all of my sports bike from the R1 to MV F3. Fantastic longevity and performance and wet weather performance unparalleled.

I'm back to 1000ccs and loving the confidence and sure footed feelings I'm getting from my Road 6s... I've just ordered another set from my local bike shop and can't wait to go touring again...isn't that what you are supposed to do when you are RETIRED.

Decided to have a pair of michelin road 6 fitted to my gs before a 3000mile tour and it was the right decision. Once I had done the 120mile scrub in nice and steady me and my wife loaded the bike and set off to sorrento Italy. I went through all weather's and these tyres are confidence inspiring. Fantastic in the dry and brilliant in the wet and this is a bmw gsa fully loaded two up. Very little noise from tyres and after 3000 miles mostly on motorway only the very slightest sign of tyre square. I can't fault the tyres and I will be having another set when these are done.
