They sound good from the review I googled and dual compound so very handy for someone like me who keeps it upright on the boring motorways.

Well if you're buying a set it'll be the power 3's you want as they're a revision up from them.

If you're spending a lot of time on motorways you should also look at the PH standard answer of Michelin Pilot Road 2 or 3. Will last way longer than a Pilot Power and you won't notice any difference in grip on the road, except maybe in the cold and wet when the PR will warm up faster than the PP.

The bike is coming with new tyres so wont have a say on what's on there (the PP's), when they are worn out I can go for the better option.

I don't want to say until after Saturday, at the moment there's a deposit down and I haven't even seen it yet so could all change.

If you are keeping the bike upright on a motorway then you'll need nothing more than the PH BB favorites for us distance/commuter people.. Dunlop Roadsmarts or Mich Pilot Road 2 or Pilot Road 3
