Michelin Power 6 vs Road 6

[Time4another]

I have had my head set on putting Power 6 tyres on my Hayabusa. I was only ever deciding between the Power 6 and the Road 6. It has now come time to pull the trigger and order them and I have started to swither between them.

While I do a lot of longer rides I don't want to sacrifice outright grip, I have spun the rear up through my own ham fistedness on the original Bridgestones that the bike came with. Fighting this against the fact that I do occasionally end up out in the wet and cold.

Finding a lack of reviews on the Power 6 and have based most of my judgements off of the Power 5.

Would the Road 6 be enough? Is the Power 6 overkill?

I've used Road 6 on my H2 SX. I slightly prefer the RoadTec 01 SE, but it is only a slight preference. Both the Road 6 and the 01 SE have done Old Gits trips with mountain passes and have been pushed to some pretty serious lean angles. Both have enjoyed autobahn runs. Both have given full confidence in both wet and dry conditions. Both last over 7000 miles. There is no reason for any road rider to need more tyre than the Road 6 or to pay for tyres that last any less distance.

This is the exact comment I've been trawling the Internet for. Thanks. Using the tyre in a way I plan to on a bike of similar size and weight.

Thanks for all the comments folks. Mind's made up. Road 6.

Cam across the link below, just if anyone else is struggling for Road 6 reviews and stumbles across this thread. Interesting way of comparing 2 tyres over such a long distance on the same bike and on the same roads.
