Both are tour tires. Our bike needs at least the powers or the power 2ct if you do some slabs.
what?
No.
Our bike doesn't "need" Powers of any kind.... if you "need" them... you need to be smoother... I've embarrassed full-on supersports (GSXR 750, Kawi 636, GSXR 1000, CBR 1000) riding on Pilot Road 2's, Pirelli Rossos, etc. ...
Not to mention, people bought this bike for different riding styles... it IS a sport/touring bike... Plenty of people tour on it... it would be retarded for someone who tours to put on Pilot Powers.
Our bike's not a tour bike, but a hyper sportbike, nothing less. Yes, you can 'tour' on anything, but we have real tour bikes available, like the connie or fjr and many more.
No one would call the r1 a tour bike, I suspect. Yet, the fz1 is nothing less than the r1 with a fighter posture, especially with the butt dyno mods. The only card that the r1 has over the fz is in the back straight in the upper triples.
r1 guys that run the track with good fz riders know the above.
Yet, I constantly hear the fz1 'tour' bike nonsense. If the fz rider wants to tour on the fz, please do so, but do NOT call this bike a tour bike. Euros don't and our bike is popular there because they know what it is.
Riders here do NOT know what our bike is, and view it as a tour geezer bike because that's what many fz owners call them. These owners simply do not know what they have: a freakin hypersport bike that kicks butt.
For that, you need the best soft tires. Go 2CT's if forced to run long slabs, but not tour tires.

The Michelin's use a different construction compared to the Pilot Power series of tire, and the Road 2 is a different carcass design compared to the Regular Pilot Road. ... The Road 2 is very shallow along the center of the tire, then drops of steeply on the edges.
depending on your riding style either of these tires would be good for you, but traditionally, the Road 2's handling characteristics can be described as "Lazy" . A higher amount of force is required at the bars to make the tire turn.

Thanks for all the info, I decided to try the Angel. My bike is used more for turing, then sport (mainly because I can’t ride as well as most sport guys).
