Spoke to the tyre place I use today and enquired about a set of Supercoras or the new Michelin GP's.
£308 for a set of Supercorsa V3's fitted to loose wheels.
£248 (iirc) for a set of GP's fitted to loose wheels.
Apparently Michelin are running their £30 cashback deal again from the 1st of June too. So for a little over £200 for a set if GP's I think I might be the guinee pig who tries them out.

They are going on a S1000R.At the moment it will just be fast road (I hate that term) riding with a bit of track riding later in the year hopefully.
I ran Power RS+ on my last S1000R and was pretty impressed with them. I havent tried Supercorsas out on this bike yet and fancied giving them a try.

After a google and reading reviews I have put power 5's the new tyres from Michelin on my H2. mainly for a tour I should be going on as I would be doing 2k over a long weekend and autobahn speeds.
Done around 150 miles on them and very impressed they are very good in the corners

After a bit more digging it would seem to me that the Power GP is the same tyre as the RS but with a different name. ??
I asked this question to the tyre guy yesterday.I've used him for years and he's not one for BS so I tend to believe what he has to say.
He was supposed to go to the launch of the tyre at Cartagena I think it was? Back in March, but that was obviously cancelled.
What he told me was.
If you take the new Power 5 and GP, and RS+ the Power 5 would sit slightly below the RS and the GP slightly above the RS ie, slightly more track biased but still predominantly a road tyre with occasional track use.
Anybody tried the Power GP's yet?
I don't know if there is a shortage of front tyres at the moment? But the place I always use has rears in stoxk but can't get hold of any fronts until 16th July.
Luckily that works out OK for me as the bike is in for a service on the 17th and then I'm booked in at Croft 2 weeks later.

Finally managed to get a set of the Power GP's fitted today.
Other than riding a couple of miles to the petrol station and back I havent had a chance to try them out properly yet. Initial impressions are that they do tip in a lot quicker than the Bridgestone S21's that were on there previously.
£260 fitted to loose wheels and once the £30 is claimed back from Michelin that will drop the overall cost down to £230 which is pretty decent.
