Step up from Road 5
My Ducati Supersport S was transformed when replacing oem tyre with Rd 5s. 12000km out of the rear!! Stepped up to Rd 6s and the improvement in steering is significant, damp conditions grip is confidence inspiring and edge grip driving out of corners excellent. Can't wait to see how many kms the 6s give
Awesome grip
Have total trust in these tyres on my Triumph Tiger. Feel smooth and haven't let go. I'm impressed.
night and day difference!
I just put these on my new 2020 z650 and replaced the dunlop sportmax 2 and its night and day difference in the dry and wet, 10/10 would buy again. I cannot relate to the other reviewers, i had no issues balancing and no vibrations at 100 mph, well outside of a naked bike at that speed which shakes a bit anyway. Great tires in the wet, complete confidence!
Great tire, but pricey
It’s probably the best sport touring tire in terms of overall grip. Plus seems well manufactured as it always balances out well. I ride hard and get ~3,500 mls on a rear and 5k front. I also ride a lot and get tired of the prices. Maybe I should slow down … naaa.

Best Motorcycle Tire
This is hands down the best motorcycle tire you can get. I've owned a set of Road 5 and I said a road sixes now I'm going to get another set of Road sixes for another bike of mine. The quality of these tires is top notch they last well over 8000 Miles. They have great traction awesome stability totally comfortable I couldn't say enough about how awesome these tires are.

Good tires....BUT
Incredibly hard to ballance, tire was shot after 200 miles from putting it on and ballancing at authorized dealer. Had to put new one AT MY OWN EXPENSE - $400 loss.... I always loved AND trusted Michelin tires for bicycles, cars and motorcycles... Paid premium to keep myself and family safe, but with Road 5.....well....I'm very disappointed in longevity and quality.
Great grip in wet and dry, shame about the speed wobble
I've have PR2, 3 and 4's on previous bikes and generally liked the tyres so when the stock Metzler Tourance Next fitted to me Tiger 1200 were wearing I fitted for the Road 6 before heading off on a European tour. The tyres inspires great confidence on alpine twistys and on the wet roads back here in the UK but on a short burst along the Autostrada a noticeable speed wobble occurs above 100mph (about 160kmph) so much so that a high speed jaunt to break part of the journey was not going to be safe at 80mph (about 130kmph) it was stable and comfortable. Now I should add that the bike was loaded up with both panniers and top box filled plus an additional bag across the pillion seat but I have ridden similarly laden before with the stock tyre and not experienced any wobble. Fortunately, I rarely take motorways and for all UK based riding within the speed limit this will bot be a problem, but those who expect to ride fast might want to explore a little deeper. I've covered about 2700 miles since fitting and so far the wear is great. I can see these lasting a while yet.
Great Tyres
Purchased the road 6 tyres for my GSXZ 1000 Katana and went the 55 profile for the rear. Fantastic tyres. The grip, feel in dry and wet are unbelievable and with the 55 profile on the rear makes for great fun in the twisties, like riding on rails. Highly recommend these tyres.
Great tires
Been using these since the 2 came out ! I won’t buy anything else . Great in rain .

Terrible Tracking
Put a full set on a 2019 Ducati Multistrada and now the bikes tracks to the left Went on some forums and other Multistrada riders experienced the same. They're so damn expensive too, hoping the dealer or Michelin will reimburse me.
