Thanks for the kind words. I am proud to read that our work is inspiring to you to get started at the track! The MT09 might be a better fit for you with the torque it offers? Depends what you ride for the street as you should have some close compatibility in engine size and configuration.

Sorry I missed this. Hope you had a great time and it wasn't too cold. I would have suggested 27 rear and 31 front for 50F temp range.

@@catalystreactionsbw 50F being the tempature of the tire? Have a track day coming up using the power 5s trying to find the ideal cold temperature

@@YouKnowWendy50 ambient… not tire heat.

I would stay with the Road 5';s for consistency and trust. You being content and getting the same response out of the motorcycle when riding is critical. Good point on an older motorcycle for track learning. If you can find an older ZX6 2000-2005 that would be ideal.

Start at 28 cold at 7am. Check at 11-12 and you should be 3-5psi higher than cold.

That is it, everyone likes different things, some mix and match to get what they want.

I'm pretty surprised at how much life I've gotten out of my power 5s. Probably 5-6 track days @ intermediate pace in hot conditions plus a couple thousand miles easily on a rear. It's wear-profiled (squared off) so I'm using it for commuting, and can probably get another 500 miles before hitting the center wear bars on the rear. Next up, s22.

@@atotalmoron oh man I am not a fan of Bridgestone..... The rs10s are junk

@@freelancerider100 I'd considered them prior to picking up a set of s22. What's up with the rs10s?

@@atotalmoron the front tire separated at the chords! The rear almost capped off!! That would have been way shitty to have a rear tire throw off a hunk of tire! They had 2000miles on them and after a hard run in a straight line about 18miles the rs10s wear totally junked!!

Power 5 is a harder compound so it should in theory last longer. In the test it seemed to show the least amount of wear at the check in odometer readings we did.

@@catalystreactionsbw harder in the center correct?

@@vannevels6758 Yes correct.

@@catalystreactionsbw Thank you. Happy New Year.

100% yes

A soft carcass tire is a good match for a light bike in principle. If you are ADD or ADHD, a firmer carcass would help you feel much more comfortable when riding

@@catalystreactionsbw I have ADHD, why is that?

Best rain tires i have seen for street are the Michelin Pilot 4's.

If you enjoy agility in your CBR a more touring focus will slow down turn and and transitions. This seems like an ideal profile for you compared to the Hypersport category where it is a little harder to initiate but then the bikes falls into the turns and offers a lot of side grip for those that want to accelerate hard. As a compromise, I think the Pirelli Angel GT II will be a tyre that you really like.

@@catalystreactionsbw hmm more food for thought... Thanks for your input.

Not less lean angle - rolls over quicker and is easier to transition therefore makes the bike more agile.

@@catalystreactionsbw my question is if a rounder tire(power 5) reaches its lean limit easier than a taller one like supercorsas for example? And if a rounder tire rolls over quick then why most people prefer bigger profiles for track??

@@nikos.kouts3 More room to work. More width of tire makes the bike more usable (friendly) but it slows entry. Depends on your style of riding. Can you control the sharper profile? for Some people it's too fast.

@@SamBassComedy so you agree that sharper tiire is quicker than rounder right? Also my question is if with a rounder tire you ran out of lean angle faster because every time i used rounder tires i was running out of chicken strips faster

@@nikos.kouts3 Not running out, but pushing further.

Lol..... after traveling the world so much helping people, it has become a bit of a mess or mystery depending on your point of view. I was born in Manchester originally.

@@catalystreactionsbw Many thanks for the kind reply Dave. Manchester boy ehh!! I wouldn't say your accent is a mess....I think it's very intriguing and interesting. Thanks again Doooood.

S22 or 23, Rosso IV for what you do

@@catalystreactionsbw thanks so not the power 5 or rode 5 than?

@@catalystreactionsbw I’m not going same brand as oem or anything just want it right I’m in California a buddy of mine runs his CBR1000RR LE on power 5 and loves them

@@topg3200 I've ridden Road 6 at the track to the top of B group and enjoyed them. I have not ridden Power 5 so i have no comment.

I can recommend the GP over the power 5, gets up to temp quicker and grippier which leads to more confidence =quicker. This is on an S1000rr, other bikes may suit different tyres.

I'm surprised Dave is testing the Power 5 and not the Power GP against these other hypersport tyres. Michelin state the Power 5 as a sporty road tyre, whereas their Power GP is described as a high performance road/occasional trackday tyre.....which would therefore suggest it being a more appropriate and fairer comparison for this test. Having previously favoured Metz and Bridgy's hypersports offerings for many many years, I have recently (about 2 years ago) made the change over to Michy, and I'm soooooo glad I did.

@@Gambo916 yeah well the Power GP would be Better compared to the Battlax RS11 not the S22. So the Power 5 is a fair comparison against the S22. They are the same category. Dave is right on this one 100%. So I don't think the Q3+ is a fair comparison because the Q3/Q3+ is fair against the Power GP, Battlax RS11, and Supercorsa SPv3. While the DOT race class the fair pick would be Q4, Power Cup 2, Battlax R11, and Supercorsa TD

@@DR-hw9jsyou think the s22 will be a better tire than the power gp?

@@sunnycanida9168 if go back you will clearly see that I've stated the Power GP is a Category ahead of the the S22 and Power 5. Being over a year since my original comment/ reply. I've ridden with both tires to a great degree. The Power GP can Handle the Power and Torque of 600cc Supersport all day! Even on a Panigale V4R at 236 BHP it will still nab pretty much all you can give it. On a Superbike like the V4R it has enough power to break traction at will and with little effort. However the difference being is that it is done very predictably. The way it breaks traction is once it starts spinning if the bike's on the right settings it spins very manageably. Even with the settings on low traction control race mode basically. Still spends in a very predictable manner and you can control it from the throttle with ease. That's more important than wondering if it has enough grip is how does it slip when you break the traction at will. And it recovers smoothly.

My choice, S22

S22 sucks

@@liltommy97 why

S22 power5 ou rosso corsa 2?lequel serait le plus adapté pour 1 conduite quotidienne avec route de campagne.et tenir sous la pluie ?✌️

Yes, all of the modern Hypersport tyres are incredible.
