Drive them for 2 years (~15 000km) on Bandit GSF650. I am very confident with those tires because the feedback is excellent. When the tires are cold, you can feel the on/off grip but they are very predictable. When the tires get warmer the grip is very good for big angel and emergency braking. For those 2 years I had only 3-4 danger situations when the road surface is bad (bad and polished asphalt). The wear is very good(I am riding alone without passenger) in Bulgaria, Romania and Greece with 5-35 Celsius temperatures.
Never mind that the tires are old and 60-70% wore out, If the road surface is good, I still can be confident for fast corners and sporty driving.
The wet handling is also good but not so good as dry(which is normal...). I will buy another set for my future trips.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I bought these tires to test them.
Th tires are excellent with very very good hangling. These are more sport tires than touring tires. The curving and leaning are more natural and easy than with my old Bridgestone bt 20.
In wet condition the tires are perfect. They are very soft and have excellent grip. I expect to last enough (10 - 15 K) is good for me. I prefer new tires more often.

so I bought these tires for my bandit as when I bought the bike the tires were squared off. these tires provide great levels of grip, never had it slip out on me, however when its wet I ride to conditions so never pushed them in the wet. typically I take a lot of pillions when riding and I can still crank it all the way over minus about 2/3mm. the lean in isn't too quick however it can take a bit of getting used to. the tires are warm within a few minutes of average road riding but when cold it seems to dip over really quick. this might just be me though haha. never had an issue when it comes to stability either at low or high speed even if its 120 round a fast corner. typically my rear tire lasted about 7-8 thousand and my front tire is at 11k and its getting towards finished.
on these tires I have done over 300 miles of motorway miles in a day on more than one occasion and they weren't even slightly squared off, great commuting tire aswell as a great tire for a back road blast, don't think id use it on a track though.
I have great trust in these tires, would probably buy again. highly recommend.

Fantastic tires!!!! Have about 2000 left on second set and will be definitely buying another set of these. Fantastic tire all year round. Covered about 8500 miles (over 7000 legal tread :)) Have done every condition you can imagine... dry, wet, hot, cold, sleet, snow, even ice.... never ever let me down. Can only recommend.
