I think that it is a very good option in the street sport tires range. In comparison with Bridgestone s22, Michelin Power 5 is more agile in all inclinations, and that, in the limit, I think that suposes less confidence. But only in terms of feeling, because, at the moment, i haven't had any bad surprise. The braking phase is very good, with a lot of feeling, also entering at the corner braking hard. Is great with typical surprising mounts of sand or gravel on the road, the tire can eat this gravel with any problem thanks to this deep furrows, that was a great surprise for me, because with s22, a dirty road = small sleep. At the moment I only have the objection that at maximum inclination, is less stable than Bridgestone s22. I hope more duration of Michelin (1000 km more than s22 and I will be happy). If not, I Will come back to s22

Given 78% while driving a Yamaha Tracer 9 (180/55 R17) on mostly country roads for 3,000 spirited miles
I've only use it in the summer (all dry and hot), rear tire only . Sub 4000km till it reach the twi on the side. 10/10 tire till it reach 80% wear, then the tire feel a bit indecisive, with decent lost of performance coming out of corners.

Very good grip, especially on the dry and good handling, but the back tire wears quickly. 5000 miles and your almost on the mark..

Given 74% while driving a Triumph Speed Triple (/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 6 spirited miles
180/55 zr17 power 5 on a Triumph Speed Tripple 1050. Great all around tire. Wet or dry. Tips in to the corners with confidence. change line mid corner no problem. Starting to square of at 6,500-ish miles. They warm up fast. One of the best tires (in my opinion) for mileage to grip ratio. Sudden downpour ,standing water is no problem. Not a track day tire and thats ok. If you are a typical Sport bike rider with average or better than average riding skill these tires wont let you down. I am replacing my rear tire next week. Frontm still looks great. Expecting a 2 to 1 tire ratio.

Given 51% while driving a Yamaha MT 07 (180/50 R17) on mostly country roads for 1,300 spirited miles
I’ve installed this tire on two of my bikes with strong engine braking, the front tire feels sketchy and most of my mate at least on one occasion said that they almost lost the front tire, the rear tire squares off after 2.5k kms and has almost no grip on the middle strip. I’ll never buy this tire again and give Michelin thumb down on this failure. I have the Power GP on one of my bikes and I take my hat for it, I hope Michelin have improved the Power 6 tire otherwise I’ll be only using Power GP for now.

Ducati (200/55 R17) on mostly country roads for 6,500 spirited miles
Tire felt really good with plenty grip even before full scrub in. Warms up really quickly and feels good even with low road temperatures. In comparison my super corsa's always felt like they lost temperature and grip very easy in colder weather. Had no nervous moments in the dry and only one in the wet being a little too enthusiastic will the throttle. Managed to get 6500miles out of the back before squaring off, whilst the front looks good for another 6k. Have purchased again for the new season.

Given 62% while driving a Honda CBR650R (190/55 R17) on mostly country roads for 0 spirited miles
On normal roads, pretty good all rounder. Dry grip is good. Impressive in the wet grip. Couldn’t break traction no matter how hard I accelerate or braked. On track, was rather dissatisfied with the dry performance at max lean angle. It doesn’t hold the line well when at max lean angle hence, it didn’t instill confidence in me to hit the corner hard. Will probably try Rosso 4 next or I’ll go back to S22. Tire wear is rather dissapponying as well. The rear tire middle section is worn down to the markers with 50% left on the sides. And I’m a guy who hit the twisties a lot. Front tire is left with 50% as well.

Used these on my ktm duke 790 and instantly knew these were my new favourite tires. Quick warm up and brilliant feel. Compound felt spot on and even road hard in the rain still in sports mode and the traction light never lit up. Real world excellence

Power 5 is an Ok tire, At 2500 miles it is starting to show some squaring off, tread depth is 2mm rear, 3mm front. I think the S22 out performs this tire, the S22 is also less expensive. If I was going to spend this level of money again it would probably buy the M9RR.
