I am starting to put serious miles on my R1100S due to the fact I am temporarily (well, it'll be about 6 months to a year) assigned to a location that is 35 miles away (one way). The Michelin Pilot sports gave up quite quickly, and I never liked them all that much anyway. So I want more of a sport-tourer type of rubber that might last some more - any experiences with Bridgestone's and Metzeler's latest, the BT020 and Z6 respectively? ....pablo
