These were stock on my 02 R6 and 05 Ducati 749 which I had from new. They performed well on both bikes although I had to throw them at less than 3000m miles on the Ducati as it didn't handle at all well once tires have done much over 2000 miles on both front and rear.
They were on the R6 for 5000 miles, they worked well in all conditions even when the rear was illegal. The front went onto an old CBR600 and worked well on that too, it also got a rear to match.
The Ducati was always run on the Michelin rears as they were a great all rounder but a Dunlop D207RR was better on the front and lasted as long.
The Pilot Power is essentially the same but with more feel and a bit more grip and is the tire I now use most of the time on my bikes.
