    I don't find the stock tires to be very grippy, the front gives the fork a head shake if you take your hand off the bars. They also seem to follow the grooves in the pavement.
    I've got a set of Bridgestone battlax's to install but haven't had the time to get it done yet. I was also wondering about the new michelins but not enough feedback out there to make me purchase a set.

    I was delighted to get rid of my Pirelli’s, terrible white-lineing, vague steering and seemed to drift out at the front in the corners. I went with Avon RoadRider 2s, delighted with them: transformed the bike, no white-lining and confidence inspiring grip in the corners, love them.:)

    Just fitted a set of Road Classics, previous were Pilot Activs not done too many miles but seem at least as good as the Activs and night and day with those OE Pirelli's
