I had a set of these on my ZX14 Streetfighter. Initially hated them. The front had a vibration problem (well into triple digit speeds) and I switched from a 190 50/17 to a 200 55/17 rear. My mistake, I figured.
A buddy who swears by these told me to check steering head bearings before condemning the tires. I did and had to replace the bearings. After several rebalances the front still had the high speed vibration. The front wore out and was replaced with a Dunlop Q4 and I finally acclimated to the rear. I absolutely rail through the high speed corners. The bike puts 200HP at the wheel and the tire has never stepped out or broke traction. At 4K miles the wear bars are flush with the tread.
Gonna order another rear. Docked one star for the front vibration. I highly recommend this tire.

Loved the last set and feel the same on the new ones. Old ones lasted 4500 miles, great wet or dry roads.

I normally run Michellin pp3 on my bikes but I wanted to give metzelers a try. I am glad I did. I am running a pair of these m7s on my '15 hayabusa and I absolutely love them so far. This tire has lots of grip, doesn't break loose off the line and even though I'm on a busa, I like to throw it around like my 600 and these tires give me the confidence to do so. I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone on the fence about which tire to go with.
