What's your favorite? I currently have Bridgeston Battlax BT021s on my bike and have right at 9,000 miles on them (yes they are due). I have some Michelin Pilot Powers on backorder. I was looking for something a little more sticky in the corner even though I know they'll only last less than half the miles I have on my BT021s. I do need to get them changed soon though so if these don't come off back order I need to look at something else.
Dont know how often you ride in the rain, but for dry conditions this would be my pick. A couple of my roadracer buddies run these on track days because theyre the stickiest tires theyve found that arent pure slicks.
Not bad, as good as my M3's. Plenty of grip when leaning in, and under acceleration out of corners any sliding was controlled and no skipping.

Like any super grippy tire they don't last very long, but I'm pretty sure they're a dual compound so you should get some decent life out of them.
If you are riding on the track with an R6, I always liked the soft Pirelli Diablos.
Seriously a race tire is worse for the street....it is made to operate at a different temperature. Diablo Corsas are a race tire, even though they have some "tread." It really isn't too bad, depending on how you ride on the street, but if it rains, you don't want to have a supersport tire on your bike.
Stick with the pilots for street.
Hey, it could happen!
